description: We live in a world which still believes and lives as if Godexists and directs the workings of the unive. This book is anattempt to set forth the major lines of philosophical argumentthat support the position of atheism. Along the way it will alsoset forth the major philosophical arguments of those who relyupon religion as the support of their belief in the existence ofGod. As the two counter positions are presented it is hopedthat the contrast between them will open the doors to debate.Recent disasters have raised new questions concerning therole of religion in society. The author does not oppose religionper se; he outlines the growth of religion from a modern historicalperspective and shows how atheism can be applied as apositive alternative in facing everyday problems.
