| Summary: | "Of all disagreements, the gulf between those who believe in a religious mindset and those who don't is arguably one of the greatest. In the United Kingdom and Europe, the population is divided almost equally between those who espouse religious beliefs and those who don't. In the United States, almost two thirds hold some form of religious belief. This fascinating book, based on conversations between religious and non-religious participants, asks if societies divided on such fundamental questions can nonetheless find some common ground. A rich array of topics are explored, including the complexities of the concept of 'God', the relation between science and religion, love, the ethics of altruistic concern, environmental ethics and the challenge of climate change, shedding important positions often taken to be intractable or non-negotiable. In addition, topics of a more reflective nature but also prone to polarise are also examined, such as spiritual experience and practice, mindfulness, the arts and human consciousness. Religion and Atheism in Dialogue will interest anyone who is concerned about the clash between the religious and the secular and how to move beyond it, as well as students of ethics, philosophy of religion and religious studies"-- |
