Author: Percy Bysshe Shelley
Publisher: Prometheus Books

Description: A philosopher as well as a poet, Shelley argues that the divine attributes of God are merely projections of human powers; life everlasting cannot be empirically demonstrated, for it runs counter to all the evidence for mortality given by the natural world, which is the only world we know. During his brief life, Shelley affronted the armies of Christendom with a single-minded purpose. As Shelley observes in his dialogue "A Refutation of Deism", there can be no middle ground between accepting revealed religion and disbelieving in the existence of a deity - another way of stating the necessity of atheism. In all, these essays provide an important statement of the poet and freethinker's enlightened views on skepticism, faith, and the corruption of organized Christianity.

Description: Plain speaking is necessary in any discussion of religion, for if the freethinker attacks the religious dogmas with hesitation, the orthodox believer assumes that it is with regret that the freethinker would remove the crutch that supports the orthodox. And all religious beliefs are "crutches" hindering the free locomotive efforts of an advancing humanity. There are no problems related to human progress and happiness in this age which any theology can solve, and which the teachings of freethought cannot do better and without the aid of encumbrances.

 

  Waiting for God: The Spiritual Reflections of a Reluctant Atheist

Binding: Paperback
Author: Lawrence Bush
Publisher: Ben Yehuda Press
Dewey Decimal Number: 204
Publication Date: 2008-02-15
Reading Level: 220
 
Description:

Waiting for God is a probing examination of the Baby Boomer generation's embrace of spirituality. It is also a personal account of the author's lifelong spiritual quest as an atheist attracted by what religion has to offer, but unwilling to make a leap of faith.

How did growing up with the Bomb influence a generation's view of science and spirit? What effects did psychedelic drugs have on American spirituality? What is the difference between open-mindedness and gullibility? Is God a necessary part of a religious life? Is atheism merely a negation of religious belief, or is it something more?

Bush explores these issues both intellectually and personally, with a rare and courageous honesty. He describes his parents' atheism, his experiences with psychedelic drugs, his brother's conversion to Orthodox Christianity, and his own career in the world of liberal Judaism.

WAITING FOR GOD grasps, from an atheist's perspective, the sense of human interconnection that defines contemporary spirituality and challenges for skeptics and humanists to provide spiritual leadership in a hungry age.

At the conclusion of the book, Bush seems to have come full circle: He remains an atheist. He does not believe in God. But the reader cannot help feeling touched by Bush's deep spirituality.

Binding: Paperback
Author: Madalyn Murray O'Hair
Publisher: American Atheist Press
Edition: 2
Dewey Decimal Number: 377.14
Publication Date: 1989-10-01
Reading Level: 302
 
Description: An Atheist Epic tells the dramatic story of how fourteen-year-old William J. Muray III and his mother Madalyn Murray (later O'Hair) challenged the compulsory recitation of the Lord's Prayer and forced reading of the Christian Bible in the public schools of Baltimore. It tells of the beatings young Bill received with the approval of school authorities, police, and courts, and of the attacks on the Murray home instigated and led by good Christians -- attacks that led quite directly to the fatal heart attack suffered by Mrs. Murray's father. It describes the Christian execution of little Garth's kitten and the sorry demise of the two 'Atheist dogs' that Bill and Garth had as companions after loss of the kitten. Virtually all the religious atacks upon the First Amendment-mandated separation of state and church that America has endured since 1963 have been in retaliation to 'Murray v. Curlett' -- the case that Madalyn successfully took all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to obtain the ruling that forced prayer and Bible reading were unconstitutional. The improbable series of events that led to that decision are painted here in colorful detail.

Description: This pertinent short history illustrates the leading issues separating the theist from the atheist and agnostic, and sheds light on world events and the inconsistencies inherent in supernaturalism and theistic theories. Thrower discusses atheism both as a reaction to belief and as a separate and consistent form of belief in a world stripped of the divine, where reason, science, and humankind's endless search for knowledge flourish.
