This book challenges the widespread assumption that the ethical
life and society must be moral in any objective sense. In his
previous works, Marks has rejected both the existence of such a
morality and the need to maintain verbal, attitudinal, practical,
and institutional remnants of belief in it. This book develops
these ideas further, with emphasis on constructing a positive
alternative. Calling it "desirism", Marks illustrates what life and
the world would be like if we lived in accordance with our rational
desires rather than the dictates of any actual or pretend morality,
neither overlaying our desires with moral sanction nor attempting
to override them with moral strictures. Hard Atheism and the Ethics
of Desire also argues that atheism thereby becomes more plausible
than the so-called New Atheism that attempts to give up God and yet
retain morality.
