Category Atheism

What if religions are neither all true nor all nonsense? Alain de Botton�s bold and provocative book argues that we can benefit from the wisdom and power of religion�without having to believe in any of it.He suggests that rather than mocking religion, agnostics and atheists should instead steal from it�because the world�s religions are packed with good ideas on how we might live and arrange our societies. De Botton looks to religion for insights into how to build a sense of community, make relationships last, overcome feelings of envy and inadequacy, inspire travel, get more out of art, and reconnect with the natural world. For too long non-believers have faced a stark choice between swallowing lots of peculiar doctrines or doing away with a range of consoling and beautiful rituals and ideas. Religion for Atheists offers a far more interesting and truly helpful alternative.
