Religion for Atheists: A Non-Believer's Guide to the Uses of Religion

by Alain de Botton

Religion for Atheists: A Non-Believer's Guide to the Uses of Religion
Religion for Atheists: A Non-Believer's Guide to the Uses of Religion

Atheism meets practical virtues of religion.

Religion for Atheists might resonate with you if you're curious about how secular life can borrow from religious traditions without the supernatural beliefs. Alain de Botton makes a compelling case for the benefits of religious practices even for non-believers, and does so with respect and a gentle touch. His thought-provoking analysis could offer you new insights on creating a meaningful secular life enriched by the wisdom of religions past and present.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
