To all "closet" atheists: Read this book!

I suspect that a lot of Christians actually doubt God's existence. But they also feel very guilty about that, and afraid of what it might mean. To many people "atheist" sounds like a dirty word. Well, it's nothing to be ashamed of or afraid of. Read this book. It's challenging but very rewarding. The author and many other free-spirited, happy people just like him are living contented and ethical lives without having to try to believe in something that they seriously doubt. Spirituality and ethics don't fly out the window as soon as "God" does. Acting like a Christian doesn't require that you believe Christ was the son of God. Jesus was a great person, and that's all we need to know in order to follow his advice for leading our lives.

For more reading in this area also try Robert Solomon's "Spirituality for the Skeptic." His thesis is a little different, but also very interesting. He defines spirituality as "The thoughtful love of life."

Little Book of Atheist Spiritualty

This is one of the best books I've ever read in my life. It is philososphically comprehensive in its overview, has humor within a very serious subject, does not discredit or downgrade anyone or any religion, but just gives one much to contemplate, and is very easy to read. It is, indeed, a "small" book.
A dear friend recommended I read it, but I would never otherwise have chosen a book with this title to read on my own. I am forever grateful. It is truly an inspirational book, honors everyone, discredits none, but gives a wonderful argument in favor of his belief system, which is an atheist. I just kept scratching my head, questioning my own belief systems, and then would have to smile....because I was left with no answers, just more questions, but less judgements.

A must read for serious thinkers

One way I rate a book is how many bookmarks I make in it. This little book inspired many on my part. Comte-Sponville arguments for no god are as readable as any I have read. The section on Spirituality however does require rereading to get its meaning. It is a very readable book for such tough subjects and a more comfortable rendering than that of Richard Dawkins and others.
