AN Athiest Defends Religion: Why Humanity is Better Off with Religion Than Without It. Paperback - 2009
by Sheiman, Bruce
A new perspective.
Defending religion as a culturalinstitution in the face of resurgentatheistic thought
.For centuries, the theism-atheism debate has beendominated by two positions: stringent believerscommitted to the "yes, there is a God" argument,and atheists vehemently driven to repudiate notonly God, but also religion as a cultural institution.To date, this is the first and only mainstream bookin which a nonbeliever criticizes atheism and affirmsreligion.
An Atheist Defends Religion persuasively argues thatreligion is overwhelmingly beneficial for humanity,regardless of whether God exists, based on a newparadigm of 10 affirmative dimensions that make upreligious experience. It also puts to rest the theorythat religion is behind most of the world's sectarianviolence by showing that religion becomes evilwhen it is politicized. Readers will learn they donot have to be fundamentalists to be believers, andabout the value and benefits of religion itself.
