In this lively and lucid book, Graham Oppy addresses the following important questions: ⢠What does it mean to be an atheist? ⢠What is the difference between atheism, agnosticism, theism and innocence? ⢠How has atheism been distributed over time and place? ⢠What does science tell us about atheism? ⢠Are there good reasons to be an atheist? ⢠Are there good reasons not to be an atheist? ⢠What do we mean by ânew atheism'? With a glossary of key terms and suggestions for further reading throughout, the book considers key philosophical arguments around atheism, making this an ideal starting point for anyone seeking a full introduction to the arguments between those who hold atheistic beliefs and those who do not. |
