Despite the considerable sociological literature on religion, few studies address non-belief in god. Among these, there is little about the factors that lead to non-belief, or about differences between the two primary types of non-believers: agnostics and atheists. The literature has a gap regarding how and which people develop a worldview that includes non-belief in god, instead focusing on the effects of god-based religions. I contribute by analyzing online interviews (primary, qualitative data) and the General Social Survey (secondary, quantitative data) in order to find common ground between two samples that point to the development of non-belief. Using both approaches gives insight into the mechanism of non-belief development -- where the qualitative data tells me about how non-believers view themselves, the quantitative data helps me find patterns among people who don't believe in god. There is agreement between both sets of data that education, family, and early non-affiliation with religion are predictors of non-belief.

You will never see reconciliation in the same light again!

In the modern age science has been winning its centuries--old battle with religion for the mind of man. The evidence has long seemed incontrovertible: Life was merely a product of blind chance--a cosmic roll of an infinite number of dice across an eternity of time. Slowly, methodically, scientists supplied answers to mysteries insufficiently explained by theologians. Reason pushed faith off into the shadows of mythology and superstition, while atheism became a badge of wisdom. Our culture, freed from moral obligation, explored the frontiers of secularism. God was dead. "Glynn's arguments for the existence of God put the burden of disproof on those intellectuals who think that the question has long since been settled." -- Andrew M. Greeley But now, in the twilight of the twentieth century, a startling transformation is taking place in Western scientific and intellectual thought. At its heart is the dawning realization that the universe, far from being a sea of chaos, appears instead to be an intricately tuned mechanism whose every molecule, whose every physical law, seems to have been design from the very first nanosecond of the big bang toward a single end--the creation of life. This intellectually and spiritually riveting book asks a provocative question: Is science, the long-time nemesis of the Deity, uncovering the face of God? Patrick Glynn lays out the astonishing new evidence that caused him to turn away from the atheism he acquired as a student at Harvard and Cambridge. The facts are fascinating: Physicists are discovering an unexplainable order to the cosmos; medical researchers are reporting the extraordinary healing powers of prayer and are documenting credibleaccounts of near-death experiences; psychologists, who once considered belief in God to be a sign of neurosis, are finding instead that religious faith is a powerful elixir for mental health; and sociologists are now acknowledging the destructive consequences of a value-free society. "God: The Evidence argues that faith today is not grounded in ignorance. It is where reason has been leading us all along.

Do you think that God and science can coexist? If so, this might be the book you are looking for. Many believers through the years have tried to prove that God can coexist with science, but most of these attempts have suffered from a fundamental conceptual flaw. They allow the skeptics to determine the parameters of the discussion. We may not be able to reconcile the concept of an active Creator who can foretell the future and work miracles with current scientific theories, but there is absolutely no disagreement with the actual results of scientific experiments. We simply have to look at things from a different point of view. Indeed, it is possible to look at the Universe from a unique perspective that not only explains the results of our experiments simply and directly but offers us a more profound grasp of our place in this universe than we've ever had before. Created in God's image, we have the privilege of working side by side with Him in the perfecting of the world.

Our world is broken and cries out for reconciliation. But mere conflict resolution and peacemaking are not enough. What makes real reconciliation possible? How is it that some people are able to forgive the most horrendous of evils? And what role does God play in these stories? Does reconciliation make any sense apart from the biblical story of redemption? Secular models of peacemaking are insufficient. And the church has not always fulfilled its call to be agents of reconciliation in the world. In Reconciling All Things Emmanuel Katongole and Chris Rice, codirectors of the Center for Reconciliation at Duke Divinity School, cast a comprehensive vision for reconciliation that is biblical, transformative, holistic and global. They draw on the resources of the Christian story, including their own individual experiences in Uganda and Mississippi, to bring solid, theological reflection to bear on the work of reconciling individuals, groups and societies. They recover distinctively Christian practices that will help the church be both a sign and an agent of God's reconciling love in the fragmented world of the twenty-first century. This powerful, concise book lays the philosophical foundations for the Resources for Reconciliation, a new series from InterVarsity Press and the Center for Reconciliation at Duke Divinity School which explores what it means to pursue hope in areas of brokenness in theory and practice.

"Rational argument does not create belief, but it maintains a climate in which belief may flourish." (Austin Farrer). Many people attribute their loss of faith to "scientific enlightenment." However, the author maintains that it isn't facts found in science that contradict religious truths; the conflicts are a result of faulty inferences, theories, and assumptions, as well as misunderstandings found in both. This book is written at about a 10th grade reading level--intended to be understandable even to non-scientists. It includes a glossary of specialized and unusual terms. Many are surprised to learn that science is not simply an accumulation of facts with only one way to make sense of them. Important aspects of science involve attempts to interpret how the facts should be pieced together. Particularly important are weaknesses in scientific dating techniques--which provide much of the material contradicting Bible history. This book includes key information from outstanding scientists and scholars indicating that dates derived scientifically aren't nearly as secure and accurate as most people suppose. Other issues involve cataclysmic events described in the scriptures (like Noah's Flood) which are usually disregarded by modern science. If the scriptural descriptions of such events are reasonably accurate, anyone ignoring them is at a distinct disadvantage in properly understanding the past. People in general have no idea how difficult it is to prove a theory. Scientists now recognize that most theories cannot be proven (especially those trying to explain unique events of the past). If enough tests are performed which fail to disprove a theory, it is often accepted as though fact. Yet theories are almost continually being modified or discarded as new details come to light.

The Material Image contends that the historic Christian faith can be understood as fully at home with the naturalistic implications of contemporary science. To demonstrate this, Donald H. Wacome explores the materialist account of the human mind and freedom, evolutionary explanations of morality and religion, belief in miracles, and the resurrection of the body.

Professor Williams's book addresses the turn against Christianity in the West. The author challenges some contemporary theologians' focus on epistemological objections to revelation and argues for the need to focus instead on anthropological objections to reconciliation. Discussing Locke, Nietzsche, and Barth's characterisation of the eighteenth century as 'absolutist', Williams demonstrates the sensibility which found repugnant the notion of a divine reconciling action through Christ in history, as does the modern. Williams shows that the driving force behind Nietzsche and Don Cupitt alike is a rejection of the Christian view of humanity and redemption. Revelation and Reconciliation concludes that either we have refuge in Christ or no refuge at all, but that we have no refuge in Christ without the crucifixion.
