” I will definately get it and check it out. For me the Title is off putting as it suggest it is an all inclusive work and frankly though I may agree with you in content, I would not like any work that “defines” atheist postions.…”

“Tom, what are you smoking?
Beliefs and ideas are not synonyms. Notice how you used those words interchangeably. And no..NO, NO, NO, NO..not everybody has their own religion. Such nonsense! Religion requires an active rejection of the…”

“As I see things, everybody has their own religion, meaning, a pattern of beliefs about how the world works, what is good and true, about what happens after we die. Even within the established religions, there is considerable variation, say…”

“As an atheist I need my own bible about as much as I need an atheist church to meet in. The reason behind my remarks is that I am not and will not become just another religion. The atheist name itself means “without god.” Bald is NOT just…”

What is your sense of ‘trappings’? Is what your saying something along the lines of this: that you are an atheist, but any formal attempt to install it as an alternative religion is not good, and therefore when you see…”

“Tom, you did not read well what i wrote. I did not equate a bible for atheists with dreaded isms. I said TRAPPINGS. I feel the same way about The Unitarian/Universalist churches which have high percentages of atheist. Same for an atheist calling…”

Yes, the works you’ve cited are good ones. If you’re reading A bible for atheists, check out pages 26 through 34 first about free will; I argue that ethics builds upon a correct understanding of this concept. My…”

I don’t understand why you might equate ‘A bible for atheists’ with being a dreaded ‘ism’. I, too, oppose nazism and fascism and communism, and I favor classical liberalism — free markets, democracy,…”

“I hate the idea.
Shouldn’t we atheists have our own bible? Hell no! Would we want to retain the trappings of nazism or communism so that we are understood by the oppressors? I have no use for accommodation of bad isms. There is no problem…”

“Also worth a look: A. C. Grayling’s The Good Book: A Secular Bible (or …A Humanist Bible, depending on which side of the pond you buy it on).”

- About Me:
- I am an atheist and independent thinker. I recently finished writing ‘A bible for atheists’ which is a reason-based ethics guide which addresses the big questions in a coherent way.
I’ve long felt that atheists have been defined negatively by what we don’t believe, that is, we don’t believe in gods or God, the supernatural, miracles, an afterlife and so forth. But what my book tries to do is to assert positively what many atheists do believe. Believers have their Bibles and Torahs and Korans etc. Atheists should have an equivalent ‘bible’ (lowercase ‘b’ to indicate that many such bibles are possible). I hope my book will lead to other efforts along the same lines. My book is not intended as a vehicle to convert believers into non-believers.
I seek reviews of my book. If a reviewer would like a free paperback copy sent directly from Amazon, please let me know. The book is available in ebook and paperback form.
Thank you for your consideration.

A bible for atheists?

Believers have their Bibles, Torahs, Korans etc. Shouldn’t us atheists have our own bible too? So that we are not defined negatively in terms of what we don’t believe (i.e. we don’t believe in the supernatural, gods or God, miracles, an afterlife etc) but a statement that defines positively what many of us do believe?
I am an atheist and independent thinker in New Jersey. My recently finished book A bible for atheists tries to do exactly that:…
