In Faitheist, Chris Stedman tells his own story to challenge the orthodoxies of this movement and make a passionate argument that atheists should engage religious diversity respectfully.

Only in the 20th century, with the passage of laws allowing for conscientious objection to war, did nonbelief enter debates about religious liberty. Still, today every one of the 20 states has God written into its constitution. God is everywhere in American public life. R. Laurence Moore and Isaac Kramnick explore both God's omnipresence and the dramatic rise in nonbelievers that has led to an "atheist awakening" intent on holding the country to its secular principles.

The father of the intelligent design movement, Phillip E. Johnson, thinks the new atheists are right! How? They’ve put serious discussion about God back on the public agenda.

Open debate is exactly what we need on the topics of God, evolution, and creation.

Is it Too late for The Church? Two thousand years. Two billion believers. One fundamental deception. You've always known something wasn't quite right about The Church. About "The Gospel."

It is a careful, honest examination of religion as a human construct—one shaped by fear, power, tradition, and the need to survive an uncertain world. Through clear reasoning and unflinching inquiry, God-Less challenges the idea that morality, hope, or purpose require God—while acknowledging why belief remains powerful and, for some, necessary.
