Description
Surveys
suggest that 19 percent of U.S. adults (approximately 45 million
people) consider themselves non-religious. This number is on the rise
with a third of adults under the age of thirty self-identifying as
non-believers. Atheist Mind, Humanist Heart
asks key questions for these non-believers: What are the guiding
principles of atheism? What is left to believe in? The book shows that
atheism need not only be reactionary (against religion and God), but
rather provides a clear set of constructive principles to live by that
establish atheism as a positive worldview. The book encourages and
guides the reader through the process of formulating his or her own set
of personal beliefs.
