Every person organizes their inner life around something that
functions like a god. Not necessarily a supernatural being. But
something treated as beyond question, something that shapes every
major decision, something whose removal would feel like the collapse
of everything.

Atheists are no exception.

The God of Atheist examines what secular people actually
worship without knowing it. Reason elevated to dogma. Science treated
as scripture. The self installed as the supreme authority. Moral
convictions held with the certainty of revelation but without a
foundation that can justify them.

This book does not argue that God exists. It argues that the human
need for a supreme organizing value never disappears. It only changes
its object.

Written for readers who have left religion but never stopped
searching, this book offers an honest examination of the beliefs
behind unbelief.
