Does goodness require God? Do we need eternity for meaningful lives? Should we believe in God without evidence?

With historical adherents as various as Mark Twain, Einstein, Freud, Philip Pullman and Frank Zappa, humanism’s central quest is to live with meaning with no need for the supernatural.

Showing how humanists make sense of the world using reason, experience and sensitivity, Cave emphasises that we can, and should, flourish without God. Lively, provocative and refreshingly rant-free, this audiobook is essential listening for all – whether atheist, agnostic, believer, or of no view – who wish better to understand what it means to be human.

Reviews

“An admirable guide for all those non-religious who may wake up to the fact that they are humanists … What we have in common is, indeed, not faith but our humanity.” "Some religious commentators say that the humanist life is immoral because it is godless; that it is meaningless because it knows of no deity or afterlife and there are only a few humanists in the UK compared with the number of godbelievers. They are wrong on all counts as this splendid book makes clear. Humanism is loving, sharing and caring and above all an intelligent philosophical way to make the best of our own and our neighbours’ lives. I could not commend it more." Expand reviews
