With
the rise of religious fundamentalism worldwide and a
new "spiritualism" in North America,
expressed disbelief in God or gods has become a taboo
once again in the Anglo/American world. In the last
few years, however, atheism has witnessed a
resurgence exemplified by the best-selling works of
authors such as Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins and
Christopher Hitchens.
Faith
in Faithlessness is intended to
contribute to the reassertion of the legitimacy of
contesting authority and proposing godlessness as a
philosophical and moral stance. It is a unique
anthology that presents a comprehensive selection of
writings, by some of the world's most celebrated
thinkers, past and present, who eloquently address
the most significant questions concerning religious
belief.
