In this book, Rik Peels explores atheism from a new perspective that aims to go beyond the highly polarized debate about arguments for and against God's existence. Since our beliefs about the most important things in life are not usually based on arguments, we should look beyond atheistic arguments and explore what truly motivates the atheist. Are there certain ideals or experiences that explain the turn to atheism? Could atheism be the default position for us, not requiring any arguments whatsoever? And what about the often-discussed arguments against belief in Godâ"is there something that religious and nonreligious people alike can learn from them? This book explores how a novel understanding of atheism is possible â" and how it effectively moves the God debate further. Believers and nonbelievers can learn much from Peels's assessment of arguments for and against atheism.

Industry Reviews

'... Peels's book is something like an anatomy of atheism: he does not try to dismiss the atheist, but instead expresses his gratitude for what the atheist has done for the development of theism. Both accessible and insightful, Peels's book would be a great resource both for the classroom, especially one comprising both atheists and theists, and for researchers interested in the methodological question concerning the philosophy of religion. ... Highly recommended.' A. Jaeger, Choice
'All in all this is an excellent book, wow.' G. van den Brink, Theologia Reformata
