What if I told you that in a few short minutes, I could disprove the existence of God? Skeptical? I know I would be, but whether you are an atheist, like me, or a fervent believer, this small booklet will challenge what you think you know about knowledge and the existence of the divine.

A simple, yet intelligent exploration of an often misunderstood philosophy.

At the time of his death, Christopher Hitchens was the most notorious atheist in the world. And yet, all was not as it seemed. "Nobody is not a divided self, of course," he once told an interviewer, "but I think it's rather strong in my case." Hitchens was a man of many contradictions: a Marxist in youth who longed for acceptance among the social elites; a peacenik who revered the military; a champion of the Left who was nonetheless pro-life, pro-war-on-terror; and, after 9/11, something of a neocon.

For thousands of years, from primitive paganism to modern evangelicalism -- the shaman-clerics have evolved a series of habit-forming religious indoctrinations which have addicted the masses to a web of hypnotic superstitions . . . with the most pervasive addiction being a belief in a nonexistent God. "The God Addiction" engages its readers with an easy-to-understand unfolding of philosophical proofs as to why God does not exist. The world's mainstream religions (and their corresponding indoctrinations) are deconstructed vis-à-vis an intriguing thought authentication. And, per a unique ...

Remarkably relevant, beautifully written, and filled with wit and wisdom, these three essays by Bertrand Russell allow the listener to test the concepts of the good life, morality, the existence of God, Christianity, and human nature. "What I Believe" was used prominently in the 1940 New York court proceedings in which Russell was judicially declared "unfit" to teach philosophy at City College of New York. "Why I Am Not a Christian" concludes that churches throughout history have retarded progress and states that we should instead "look to our own efforts here below to make this world a fit place to live in." Finally, "A Free Man's Worship", perhaps the most famous single essay written by Russell, considers whether humans operate from free will.

A witty and devastating takedown of the "new" atheist position, Inside the Atheist Mind debunks the theories of Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and others, revealing how inconsistent, illogical, and frankly ludicrous their conclusions truly are. Poking fun at atheists in a clever and intelligent way, Anthony DeStefano demonstrates just how full of holes the new atheism is and reveals that it is actually a "religion" of its own, complete with a creed, a set of commandments, a rigid moral code, and rewards and punishments.

A bible for atheists is about how to be a good human if one doesn't believe in gods or God. It states positively what many atheists believe. In this improved second edition, it puts forth a system of belief based on reason and science and common sense into a coherent structure, starting from basic principles, to answer the big questions about our human origins, the puzzle of fate and free will, ethics, how to manage the emotions, why some binds bring new capabilities, friendship, love and mating, the nature of beauty, constructive thinking, rights and freedom and liberty, and more.

For thousands of years, holy books have told us that such a life is available only through obedience and submission to some higher power. Today, the faithful keep popular devotionals and tracts within easy reach on bedside tables and mobile devices, all communicating this common message: Life is meaningless without God. Former pastor Dan Barker eloquently, powerfully, and rationally upends this long-held belief.

Whether part of polytheistic or monotheistic systems, the concept of God is one of humanity’s oldest attempts to explain the mysteries of life. Today, however, the idea of God feels increasingly foreign, gradually fading from the consciousness of many. The gap between humans and the divine seems to grow wider, and religion appears increasingly out of place in a world dominated by scientific culture, which directs our attention to the physical, material world. In philosophy, the question of God’s existence is a central metaphysical issue—arguably, the metaphysical issue par excellence....

Atheism Destroys focuses on how godlessness destroys our most treasured institutions and values: free speech, family, relationships, and even courage. Lurie shows how godlessness has been the primary destroyer of many of our liberties. He also shows how godlessness is the root of and primary force enabling drug cartels, the mafia, sex trafficking, and psychopaths. With insight, stories, and humor, Lurie treats atheism as a destructive force in and of itself—one that we dare not tread lightly and which we must resist like any other enemy at the gate.

Incorporating his own thoughts along with those of noted academics, philosophers, and theologians, Loftus is able to properly define "miracle" and then show why there's no reason to believe such a thing even exists.

Fr. Vincent Miceli breaks ground in this analysis of seventeen Enlightenment theologians and philosophers who contributed to the rise of atheism. He explores their efforts and successes in convincing mankind to deny the existence of God, and he demonstrates how atheism has succeeded by creating mythical gods to stand in the place of God. What Fr. Miceli shows is that each tenet of atheism doesn't deny the existence of a Higher Power; it simply replaces the true Power with a false power.
