De Lubac traces the origin of 19th century attempts to construct a humanism apart from God, the sources of contemporary atheism which purports to have 'moved beyond God.' The three persons he focuses on are Feuerbach, who greatly influenced Marx; Nietzsche, who represents nihilism; and Comte, who is the father of all forms of positivism. He then shows that the only one who really responded to this ideology was Dostoevsky, a kind of prophet who criticizes in his novels this attempt to have a society without God. Despite their historical and scholarly appearance, de Lubac's work clearly refers to the present. As he investigates the sources of modern atheism, particularly in its claim to have definitely moved beyond the idea of God, he is thinking of an ideology prevalent today in East and West which regards the Christian faith as a completely outdated.

The Western World is becoming atheist. In the space of three generations churchgoing and religious belief have become alien to millions. We are in the midst of one of humankind's great cultural changes. How has this happened? Becoming Atheist explores how people of the sixties' generation have come to live their lives as if there is no God. It tells the life narratives of those from Britain, Western Europe, the United States and Canada who came from Christian, Jewish and other backgrounds to be without faith. Based on interviews with 85 people born in 18 countries, Callum Brown shows how gender, ethnicity and childhood shape how individuals lose religion. This book moves from statistical and broad cultural analysis to use frank, humorous and sometimes harrowing personal testimony. Becoming Atheist exposes people's role in renegotiating their own identities, and fashioning a secular and humanist culture for the Western world.

The main purpose of this book is to let people know what an atheist thinks, what his views are, what he thinks about religious arguments, and why he is not convinced by them. Several important themes are addressed in this book, religious, or not everyone should know these writings, they are not only a criticism of religions, but also of atheism itself. Atheists are the most disunited minority in the universe, so I started what has become this book with a critical text on the foundations of atheism, an investigation into the reasons for this disunity, an atheist's text for atheists, words that struggle to demonstrate the true meaning and origin of atheism. For me, the atheist movement will only come out of puberty when there is a self-assertive critique capable of coherently constructing an atheist identity. Most atheists these days are like eternal teenagers, they think that one dictionary definition is enough to instantly become a complete atheist. They consider themselves atheists and assume an incoherent brand of individualist rebels asserting a supposed absolute freedom; and, in this way, in the illusion of total freedom in atheism, without seeking the logical coherence of their ideas, they end up reproducing religious values, supernatural and incoherent beliefs. These kind of atheists don't study and are a disgrace. An unbeliever must study religion to become a full atheist. A religious must also learn a little about atheism to maintain their faith. An army must always know its opponents to have a good strategy, otherwise it would be a long shot. If you don't like some subject, you shouldn't run away from these ideas, quite the contrary, you should learn a little to try to refute, disagree, or agree on a miserable point, anyway, otherwise, you're just someone superficial and ignorant who rejects everything just because you heard it around. Any discussion must respect logic, if you do not accept a statement you must counter it with another argument and not something subjective and baseless. It is necessary to be open to dialogue so as not to fall into the error of considering irrational everything that does not match our limits of perception.

This book brings together a diverse and wide-ranging group of thinkers to forge unsuspecting conversations across the humanist and non-humanist divide. How should humanism relate to a non-humanist world? What distinguishes “humanism” from the “non-humanist?” Readers will encounter a wide-range of perspectives on the terms bringing together this volume, where “Humanism” “Non-Humanist” and “World” are not taken for granted, but instead, tackled from a wide variety of perspectives, spaces, discourses, and approaches. This volume offers both a pragmatic and scholarly account of these terms and worldviews allowing for multiple points of analytical and practical points of entry into the unfolding dialogue between humanism and the non-humanist world. In this way, this volume is attentive to both theoretically and historically grounded inquiry and applied practical application.

French philosophy changed dramatically in the second quarter of the twentieth century. In the wake of World War I and, later, the Nazi and Soviet disasters, major philosophers such as Kojève, Levinas, Heidegger, Koyré, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Hyppolite argued that man could no longer fill the void left by the "death of God" without also calling up the worst in human history and denigrating the dignity of the human subject. In response, they contributed to a new belief that man should no longer be viewed as the basis for existence, thought, and ethics; rather, human nature became dependent on other concepts and structures, including Being, language, thought, and culture. This argument, which was to be paramount for existentialism and structuralism, came to dominate postwar thought. This intellectual history of these developments argues that at their heart lay a new atheism that rejected humanism as insufficient and ultimately violent.

Religion is currently gaining a much higher profile. The number of faith schools is increasingly, and religious points of view are being aired more frequently in the media. As religion's profile rises, those who reject religion, including humanists, often find themselves misunderstood, and occasionally misrepresented. Stephen Law explores how humanism uses science and reason to make sense of the world, looking at how it encourages individual moral responsibility and shows that life can have meaning without religion. Challenging some of the common misconceptions, he seeks to dispute the claims that atheism and humanism are 'faith positions' and that without God there can be no morality and our lives are left without purpose. Looking at the history of humanism and its development as a philosophical alternative, he examines the arguments for and against the existence of God, and explores the role humanism plays in moral and secular societies, as well as in moral and religious education. Using humanism to determine the meaning of life, he shows that there is a positive alternative to traditional religious belief.
