Rise of the Nones: The Importance of Freedom from Religion - Paperback

Humanity is undergoing an historic change. It is a change in our self-conception, and our understanding of our place within the cosmos. The last several centuries have seen the growing influence of an increasingly secular perspective, one which places us squarely in the natural order. This turn away from religious, supernatural, and superstitious thinking, towards an increasingly naturalistic and scientific perspective, is itself the cause of genuine, holistic progress for human civilization. It is this dynamic moment, this revolutionary shift from faith to reason, which is the focus of Rise of the Nones: The Importance of Freedom from Religion.

This work weaves together the important themes of evolution, secularism, and progress, uniting them into one comprehensive argument. Rise of the Nones is a hope-filled, enlightening, insightful work, an excellent rational antidote to two millennia of toxic religious misanthropy.
