Discovering that he was not alone, he moved to North America and promised to use his new freedom of speech to represent the voices that are usually quashed before reaching the mainstream media - those of Atheist Muslims.

El Dios de los Ateos es una exploración profunda de la visión de Baruch Spinoza sobre Dios, la religión y la razón. Rechazando la noción de un Dios intervencionista, Spinoza redefine la divinidad como la Naturaleza misma, eterna e inmutable. Critica la fe ciega en milagros y supersticiones, proponiendo en cambio una devoción basada en el amor intelectual y la búsqueda del conocimiento. El libro analiza la separación entre filosofía y teología, la defensa de la libertad de pensamiento y la democracia, y ofrece una crítica radical al poder político y religioso. Una obra ...

Popular religious beliefs and practices are challenged, with potential new information for those who may be questioning their faith.

Making the provocative assertion that the entire enterprise of organized religion is a thing for which the world and our species would have been better without, Oh, Your God! follows in the footsteps of the material observations of Lucretius, Epicurus, and Democritus, and the more recent anti-theistic arguments of Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. Drawing from timeless philosophers, modern debates, historical events, and current social climes, Joshua Kelly illustrates the shameful and debilitating damage religion has caused....

The purpose of this book is to establish the theory that the apostle Peter is an alias for the Jewish historian Josephus. To support this view, we must connect both names to the Flavians, and in particular, the Roman general Titus. What does it mean that Josephus functioned among the Christians as a man named Peter? Why would he want to be called Peter? Who were his compatriots, his helpers, the men and women who helped him keep up the façade? To answer this, we must examine what facts of reality would have made it possible for him to function as Josephus as a writer of history and Peter ...

Atheism Explained explores the claims made both for and against the existence of God. On the pro side: that the wonders of the world can only be explained by an intelligent creator; that the universe had to start somewhere; telepathy, out-of-body experiences, and other paranormal phenomena demonstrate the existence of a spirit world; and that those who experience God directly provide evidence as real as any physical finding.

This is a passionate but breezy polemic that seeks to expose the harmful nature of religious orthodoxy, whether it be Christian, Jewish, or Moslem, which it contrasts with polytheism, specifically Greek polytheism, altogether a more relaxed system. It is also a forceful plea for the use of reason in pursuit of the biggest questions that confront us. An Ordinary Man’s Letter to God is not an attack on faith, nor does it advocate for atheism. It argues passionately for the use of reason to establish a universal doctrine of tolerance, decency, common sense, and love.

Mind-blowing technology and solid evidence that would rewrite religious history and challenge the faith of billions.

Just as intelligent design is not a legitimate branch of biology in public educational institutions, nor should the philosophy of religion be a legitimate branch of philosophy. So argues acclaimed author John W. Loftus in this forceful takedown of the very discipline in which he was trained. In his call for ending the philosophy of religion, he argues that, as it is presently being practiced, the main reason the discipline exists is to serve the faith claims of Christianity.

Common Sense Recovery began as the journal of a long-standing member of AA, during a time in his life when he was struggling to reconcile the religious language of Alcoholics Anonymous with his new-found atheism and scientific understanding of addiction and the recovery process.
