Despite the frightening title this is a comforting book. The reason
is that there are no reasons why you and your loved ones will go to
hell. This book is a joke that worries religious people until they
open it. It's an inexpensive gift for Christians and atheists.
Inside they'll find a hundred blank pages they can use for notes
and addresses.

Agnosticism, Atheism, and Non-religious persons have similar views
on spirituality. Agnosticism is a faith system that holds that
there is no definitive evidence that a spiritual being exists. It
is a non-exclusive faith system associated with physics. Some
Atheists similarly believe there isn't anything in the spiritual
realm. Non-Religious persons don't think of spirituality in any
sense. This book gives an overview of these faith and non-faith
systems that can be understood on a conversational level. This book
includes a section for notes and keeping a journal. This book is
presented by (ULCMM) The Universal Life Church Monastery of
Massachusetts.
Every year more of us including 1 in 3 young adults are leaving
religion behind. They are now America's largest and fastest growing
minority, bar none. Motivated by the author's own journey from
pulpit rabbi to being one of them, Transcenders: Living beyond
religion and the religion wars presents both the reasons why so
many have turned from religion and the challenges they face in a
country where religion is the assumed default. Part of that default
is seen in branding those without religion as nonbelievers, a term
Prinz labels a pejorative suggesting they have no beliefs. Nothing
could be further from the truth. So he puts forth "transcenders," a
name to more accurately identify those who have opted to move on
from religion. The book explores god-invention, individual
identity, truth, purpose, immortality, community and wonder along
with what lies ahead for transcenders in the years to come. It
speaks without anger to and for transcenders and equally to those
who want to understand why so many have left religion behind.
Is there a type of knowledge that is only available through
religion? If such knowledge exists, is it certain to be true? Is
there a realm of religious experience that is more real than trees
or buildings or stars or whales? Is religious truth acquired
through personal experience, revelation, contemplation, or written
scriptures? What is the risk to one's immortal soul of denying the
existence or reality of God? Is it meaningful for an atheist to
claim to believe in God, or is that simply a logical impossibility?
What are the benefits of religion, and what would life be like
without them? How is it possible to know which behaviors are
morally correct without direct knowledge of God's commandments?
These and other questions concerning religious truth and knowledge
are explored in The Reverent Atheist.
Instead of being subjected to traditional bedtime prayers, this
little boy is regaled with observations on the beauty of the
natural world and the wonders of science. God doesn't love him
because God doesn't exist.
The Atheist Coloring and Activity Book is a complete course on the
world view of Atheism meant for adults.
