Humanism from the Heart by Steve Ghikadis is a heartfelt exploration of what it means to build bridges of understanding in a world divided by conflicting beliefs. Through personal stories and candid reflections, Steve shares his transformative journey—from struggling with religious apathy and growing resentment to embracing secular humanism, a philosophy rooted in empathy, reason, and meaningful connection.

A six-month debate at work with a religious fundamentalist led to years of research and contemplation resulting in the author's journey towards Atheism. The three great monotheisms are picked apart, exposing their shortfalls via their own texts, world history, philosophy, and thought-provoking hypotheticals. If your brilliant logical brain is ready to be freed, you have come to the right place. This book will help you quell the doubt and fear associated with leaving the credulous herd.

Brought to you by Penguin. Known as the ‘four horsemen’ of New Atheism, these four big thinkers of the twenty-first century met only once. Their electrifying examination of ideas on this remarkable occasion was intense and wide-ranging. Everything that was said as they agreed and disagreed...

For the first and only time in history, a Roman emperor penned a thorough and profound attack on the greatest “disease” (as he put it) affecting the inhabited world—Christianity. No one was better informed about Christian practice and belief than Julian, who had been (an apparently devout) Christian for the first twenty years of life, and had received a thorough training in biblical studies before he left the "darkness" and walked into the light of Hellenic spirituality. This translation of Julian's Against the Galileans supersedes that of R. Joseph Hoffmann, who based his translation...

Russell once said, "Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric." His views on religion in general, and on Christianity in particular (as in this work), were considered "eccentric" by many of his contemporaries. So were his views on sex, which figures frequently as an example of the misery that Christian leaders and thinkers inflict, and for which he was often vilified. The lectures in this collection leave no doubt about his views on these and related subjects.

Atheists talk a lot about the importance of skepticism. But the truth is, they're not nearly skeptical enough. While atheists champion the importance of a critical stance toward religion, they often fail to take that same stance toward their own beliefs.

This is a passionate but breezy polemic that seeks to expose the harmful nature of religious orthodoxy, whether it be Christian, Jewish, or Moslem, which it contrasts with polytheism, specifically Greek polytheism, altogether a more relaxed system. It is also a forceful plea for the use of reason in pursuit of the biggest questions that confront us. An Ordinary Man’s Letter to God is not an attack on faith, nor does it advocate for atheism. It argues passionately for the use of reason to establish a universal doctrine of tolerance, decency, common sense, and love.

Author's note: When my book "There Is Only God" was released about a year ago, I was concerned that it would only appeal to a rare and tiny group of quite exceptionally open-minded experts in fields such as philosophy, physics, cosmology, and progressive theology. However, the book actually aims to reach a wide audience of curious and inquisitive individuals from diverse backgrounds. In addition to this anxiety, which I had anticipated, I can now say, to my astonishment, that I am ecstatic about the readers' responses seen here in the form of Amazon book reviews (46 and counting) and the ...

This personal story about a spiritual journey away from Christianity is an honest examination of what we can know about God. Popular religious beliefs and practices are challenged, with potential new information for those who may be questioning their faith. After formal academic study of religion, Baptist minister David Ramsey became agnostic and left the ministry altogether. In this book, he shares how his search for truth led to personal doubts about the foundation of Christianity, the resurrection of Jesus, and eventually the very existence of God.

Goodbye Jesus is the step-by-step account of a former minister’s journey into and out of faith - the story of a long pendulum swing from the deep commitment of a devout believer to the firm conviction that no personal God exists and that all religions are man-made. This is a relatable and thoughtful listen for those seeking to better understand the evangelical mindset, for Christians who are questioning their faith, for ministers trying to decide whether to stay or go, and for those who have left their faith and are dealing with its loss.

This interpretation of the 12 Steps offers a simple, practical, and highly effective method of working through the steps. I invite you to take this transcendent journey towards contented sobriety. There is no need to become concerned about using God as a higher power. All that is required is an agnostic-friendly sponsor. I offer a whole chapter about healthy sponsorship boundaries in AA. Despite being an agnostic, the twelve steps enabled me to begin having healthier relationships as a recovering alcoholic.

This is Volume 2 of the book of the same title. This book delves deeper into the works of Eusebius and provides many clues on how church fathers advanced the works of Paul and the Gospels. For Eusebius, there was no reality without God since He was thought to be the Creator of the universe. And this view is thought to solve the questions that are left behind: What was Christ? What of those who thought that he was a mere man? What of those that thought he was the Roman General Titus?. Eusebius is, therefore, for the Christian, thought to start at the beginning. But is he? What if he was ...

Sin lugar a dudas, uno de los libros más enigmáticos y misteriosos que se han escrito jamás; es el libro de Enoc. De los seis libros que componen la obra original de Enoc, el libro de los vigilantes o de los ángeles caídos es uno de los más interesantes y controvertidos, debido a que contiene narraciones más detalladas que las del canon bíblico (Génesis) en cuanto a la rebelión del grupo de ángeles que vinieron a la tierra, y que mas tarde dieran origen a los inicuos Nefilims.

What if every struggle you’ve faced — every heartbreak, delay, or disappointment — wasn’t punishment, but a divine agreement your soul made to help you awaken? The Human Condition: The Release of Soul Contracts and the Return to Wholeness is more than a book — it’s a spiritual initiation.

This book invites you to ...

In Part Two of this series, Rev. John goes deeper into his UU faith.

Drawing wisdom from history, pop culture, and his own journey as a Black Unitarian Universalist minister, Rev. Crestwell invites new UUs, longtime members, and spiritual seekers alike to remember that this is a ...
