Arguments between those who hold religious beliefs and those who do
not have been at fever pitch. They have also reached an impasse,
with equally entrenched views held by believer and atheist - and
even agnostic - alike. This collection is one of the first books to
move beyond this deadlock. Specially commissioned chapters address
major areas that cut across the debate between the two sides: the
origin of knowledge, objectivity and meaning; moral values and the
nature of the human person and the good life; and the challenge of
how to promote honest and fruitful dialogue in the light of the
wide diversity of beliefs, religious and otherwise. Under these
broad headings leading figures in the field examine and reflect
upon: Secular and religious humanism The idea of the sacred The
vexed issue of science in both religious and secular accounts of
knowledge Spirituality for the godless Non-western perspectives on
the atheism/theism debate. A key feature of the collection is a
dialogue between Raymond Tallis and Rowan Williams, former
Archbishop of Canterbury. Religion and Atheism: Beyond the Divide
will interest anyone who is concerned about the clash between the
religious and the secular and how to move beyond it, as well as
students of ethics, philosophy of religion and religious studies.
