Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

So you're an atheist. Now what?The way we deal with life-with love and sex, pleasure and death, reality and making stuff up-can change dramatically when we stop believing in gods, souls, and afterlives. When we leave religion-or if we never had it in the first place-where do we go?With her unique blend of compassion and humor, thoughtfulness and snark, Greta Christina most emphatically does not propose a single path to a good atheist life. She offers questions to think about, ideas that may be useful, and encouragement to choose your own way. She addresses complex issues in an accessible, down-to-earth style, including:Why we're hereSexual transcendenceThe meaning of lifeThe meaning of deathFrivolitySensualityHow humanism helps with depression - except when it doesn'tStealing stuff from religionWhy atheism demands social justiceDifferent ways to be a good personJoyand much more.Aimed at new and not-so-new atheists, questioning and curious believers, Christina shines a warm, fresh light on the only life we have.
