A broad introduction to atheism and secular thought

Dale McGowan’s guide treats atheism as a range of positions rather than a single, uniform worldview. It covers the history of atheism, its presence in popular culture, and connections with perspectives such as agnosticism and secular humanism. The book also considers how atheist viewpoints engage with philosophical questions involving artificial intelligence and the climate crisis, alongside the role of the internet in shaping secular communities. This gives the subject both historical context and contemporary points of connection, while distinguishing atheism from related beliefs and ways of life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an introduction to atheism and religious nonbelief
  • Readers interested in secular philosophy, agnosticism, or secular humanism
  • Those curious about atheism in popular culture and online communities
