Description: In our day and age can Jews rely on the religion of Judaism for their identity? This book aims at providing a way to answer this question. The object of Exodus to Humanism is not to preach to those converted to humanism, but rather to engage in a dialogue with the millions of the indifferent, the undecided, the don't knows, and the don't cares who carry on pretending to believe without any real conviction.

This book is not about fighting Judaism in particular and religion in general. This book is about replacing Judaism and religion with what readers feel ought to replace it.

Included with his own observations and experiences are arguments and explanations from twenty-six Jewish contributors who have either rejected Judaism or have never believed in it, including: Prof. Sir Isaiah Berlin, Prof. Sir Herman Bondi, Prof. Albert Ellis, Prof. Adolf Grunbaum, Rose Hacker, Prof. George Klein, Dr. Henry Morgentaler, Prof. Jean-Claude Pecker, Prof. Ernest Poser, Prof. Howard Radest, Claire Rayner, Prof. Evry Schatzman, Helen Suzman, and Arnold Wesker.
