If you've considered leaving your religion, you are not alone. Each year over two million adults in the United States decide to no longer identify themselves with a specific religion. In 2012, according to the annual Pew Forum American Religious Identity Survey, over 45 million (20%) of the adults in the United States no longer claimed a religious tradition. For a variety of reasons, many are discovering religion doesn't work for them any longer. Unfortunately, for those becoming post-religious, there is very little being written by them or for them. In this book, James Mulholland - a former Christian minister and author of several best-selling religious books - offers practical advice to those struggling to make the shift from a religious to a non-religious life. Regardless of your religious background, there are common challenges in this transition. Understanding your losses, obstacles and opportunities can ease your pain and speed your development as a post-religious person. Leaving Your Religion guides those leaving a religious tradition through the process of leaving home, walking away and moving forward. When you think about your religious life or your understanding of God, if you struggle with persistent doubts, growing discomfort and feelings of sadness or anger, Leaving Your Religion may be for you. If you're already journeying away from religion, it may be a helpful travel guide. The book provides direction for those on the cusp of leaving, those who've walked away and those who - though they've left their religion - still struggle with sadness or anger. There are questionnaires, reflection questions, exercises, quotes and advice for the journey away from religion. Leaving Your Religion offers a gentle word of encouragement and hope for those seeking to create a non-religious life.

Continuing a theme begun in This and That, J.T. McDaniel now presents a collection of 19 essays, ranging from the titular More on Theistic Atheism, to Odd Animals and Space Aliens. In the first, the author further develops the idea of an atheism that includes a deity (if admittedly an imaginary one). While the idea that, "It's okay to believe in god, as long as you realize it's imaginary" essentially defines theistic atheism, most of the other essays simply dispense with the idea of any reality beyond the physical. Along with appeals to logic and critical thinking, essays cover such topics as gay marriage, abortion, climate change, the relationship between government and religion, and between religion and science. On the lighter side, McDaniel examines some reasons why the world is unlikely to end in 2012, the music he wants played at his funeral (Queen, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Boito, but definitely not Amazing Grace), and the possibility of actual immortality in a virtual world. There is a suggestion that a new political party might be in order. Climate change is viewed through a practical lens, which suggests that far more could be accomplished through the use of tax incentives than the usual government instinct of using any crisis as an excuse to wring more funds out of the taxpayers. The use of existing infrastructure to produce cheap hydrogen is also studied. The collection concludes with a look at cryptozoology, which the author finds valid mostly in the realm of insects and fish, but not bigfoot or mokele-mbembe. He then argues that space aliens are probably real, but that it's unlikely they have visited here, or that any extraterrestrial civilization would even know we were here.

Radical understanding of ourselves is now possible to our very core--greater insight into whom we really are, where we came from, what our evolution has been, what it has meant, and what it means now and for the future. That quest has been an intellectual one, but it also has been a spiritual one--and answers with spiritual meaning are now possible, even for the atheists, doubters, skeptics, humanists, and freethinkers.

In this study, author Douglas Falknor explores the issue of how religion has evolved along with humanity. A nonbeliever, Falknor seeks to answer a host of age-old questions: Are we born addicted to religion? Why do we have religion? Is there a God? How has religion evolved and created the hardwired spirituality within us?

Falknor goes beyond the God gene and surveys recent thought and reveals original interpretations of what it all means. He traces this spiritual quest for nonbelievers and calls this the "Path of the Doubtful Sojourner." Through this discussion, Falknor seeks to pave the way toward greater spiritual and psychological fulfillment.

Through a relatively congenial but frank interchange among three siblings, the dialogues highlight three very different ways of living and apprehending the universe. One sibling has a traditional view of God (traditional, that is, within a Christian/Judaic/Islamic context). One has a very different view of God. And one is an atheist. Their interchange reveals interconnections between their views about God and about politics, society, beauty, science, personal relationships, individuality, good and evil, and war and peace. This interchange among the three illustrates how very different views about God impact practically everything else. But how can those with such conflicting views live together in the same community, the same society, the same world? By challenging each other in eleven dialogues, the siblings, in spite of their conflicting views, come to a common realization and agreement. To find out what it is and to understand how they get there, read these dialogues.

Bible Babble Bull (Second Edition) is a compilation of some of the most controversial topics expressed in my five book series on religion including Empirical Truth, and Bible Propaganda: there is also a new updated chapter on the Shroud of Turin. The Bible is an immoral book, and the act of following an immoral book by blind faith alone is an amoral act. We should not be teaching from an old superstitious book that which we do not really understand or know what is written within its pages. I have included many Bible Scriptures, including chapter and verse for you to read and or look up in any Bible. It is unfortunate that we, humankind believed in Biblical Mythology when the process of multi-copies became possible, as one large book makes people believe that it must be the truth; but the Bible is not a book about one God, most of its stories were taken form much earlier long forgotten and debunked past gods. Darwinism is cruel; survival of the fittest, yet with increasing knowledge, civilizations can evolve to have an ameliorate world; while the Bible is immoral, and by its very nature will always be immoral.

This book is the compilation of the two parts of the "Inside a Non-Believer's Mind" series. In the first part, the author explains why he became a freethinker, and atheist, despite having a strong religious upbringing. He also explains the concept of atheism, and why he believes that our differences only reflect our humanity - that we all come from different parts of the world, different backgrounds, and have different belief systems. He only hopes that we can recognize that we are more alike than we are different. In the second, part, he argues that the concept of God is poorly explored by believers, and greatly explored by non-believers, when in reality should be the opposite. As religious people grow up in religious environments, at some point God becomes just a word without a definition, and people lose perspective of what they really mean when they say: I do believe in God. The author also defends the concept of morality on the absence of religion, which is of paramount importance for those who wonder about good and evil in a humanist, science-driven society. His only true objective is to promote reason and tolerance, and both believers and non-believers alike will find his work enticing, and thought-provoking.
