In The Good Book, Professor Grayling attempts to whisk together in one tome the wisdom of Ancient Greek philosophers, Confucian sages, medieval poets and the discoveries of modern science.
Without any reference to gods, souls or afterlives, it aims to give atheists a book of inspiration and guidance as they make their way in the world.
In place of the more well-known Ten Commandments, his atheist principles are: "Love well, seek the good in all things, harm no others, think for yourself, take responsibility, respect nature, do your utmost, be informed, be kind, be courageous." Read the rest here.
Questions for Atheist:
What is love? Why should I?
What is good? Why should I seek it? How will I know if i've found it?
Why shouldn't I harm others? What if I love to harm others? What if I find it good?
How can I think? Aren't those just random sensations that happen by chance?
