A call to action to address people’s psychological and social
motives for a belief in God, rather than debate the existence of
God  With every argument for theism long since discredited,
the result is that atheism has become little more than the noises
reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious
beliefs. Thus, engaging in interminable debate with religious
believers about the existence of God has become exactly the wrong
way for nonbelievers to try to deal with misguided—and often
dangerous—belief in a higher power. The key, author James Lindsay
argues, is to stop that particular conversation. He demonstrates
that whenever people say they believe in “God,” they are really
telling us that they have certain psychological and social needs
that they do not know how to meet. Lindsay then provides more
productive avenues of discussion and action. Once nonbelievers
understand this simple point, and drop the very label of atheist,
will they be able to change the way we all think about, talk about,
and act upon the troublesome notion called “God.”
