A comprehensive introduction to religious skepticism. Publishers Weekly
In What It Means to Be Moral: Why Religion Is Not Necessary for Living an Ethical Life, Phil Zuckerman argues that morality does not come from God. Rather, it comes from us: our brains, our evolutionary past, our ongoing cultural development, our social experiences, and our ability to reason, reflect, and be sensitive to the suffering of others.
By deconstructing religious arguments for Godbased morality and guiding readers through the premises and promises of secular morality, Zuckerman argues that the major challenges facing the world todayfrom global warming and growing inequality to religious support for unethical political policies to gun violence and terrorismare best approached from a nonreligious ethical framework. In short, we need to look to our fellow humans and within ourselves for moral progress and ethical action.
In this brilliant, provocative, and timely book, Phil Zuckerman breaks down the myth that our morality comes from religioncompellingly making the case that when it comes to the biggest challenges we face today, a secular approach is the only truly moral one. Ali A. Rizvi, author of The Atheist Muslim
