Atheology is the intellectual effort to understand atheism, defend
the reasonableness of unbelief, and support nonbelievers in their
encounters with religion. This book presents a historical overview
of the development of atheology from ancient thought to the present
day. It offers in-depth examinations of four distinctive schools of
atheological thought: rationalist atheology, scientific atheology,
moral atheology, and civic atheology. John R. Shook shows how a
familiarity with atheology’s complex histories, forms, and
strategies illuminates the contentious features of today’s
atheist and secularist movements, which are just as capable of
contesting each other as opposing religion. The result is a book
that provides a disciplined and philosophically rigorous
examination of atheism’s intellectual strategies for reasoning
with theology. Systematic Atheology is an important contribution to
the philosophy of religion, religious studies, secular studies, and
the sociology and psychology of nonreligion.
