Religion for Atheists: A Non-Believer's Guide to the Uses of Religion

Synopsis

What if religions are neither all true nor all nonsense? Alain de botton’s bold and provocative book argues that we can benefit from the wisdom and power of religion—without having to believe in any of it. He suggests that rather than mocking religion, agnostics and atheists should instead steal from it—because the world’s religions are packed with good ideas on how we might live and arrange our societies.
