Does atheism have a rational foundation? If we are just atoms in motion, how can anything be right or wrong? What is reason and why trust it? What is true? What should I believe, about myself and the world I live in? What should our politics be? What should our values be? Why do we find some things beautiful and moving and others ugly and repulsive?
Christians and Muslims and others have been challenging atheists with these questions more than ever. Learn how to answer them…and with something more coherent and well-thought-out than they even think their answers are! Thinking through the answers to these questions can also make you smarter, wiser, with a better grasp of the world and your place in it. It will give you a firmer basis for understanding who you are and the world you live in and how to improve both.
Get a leg up on all these goals, by taking my course next month (this October) on Naturalism as a Worldview: How to Build a Philosophy of Life. My course establishes the philosophical foundations of humanism and how to defend them, from the ground up. And I think this is the best way to introduce yourself to doing philosophy and thinking like a philosopher!
It also fits the Halloween and Christmas seasons! As this course is all about how we know the supernatural doesn’t exist and what we should replace it with in our conception of ourselves and the world.
We’ll work from my book Sense and Goodness without God and discuss its merits or ways to improve on it.
Learn more about the course, and register for it, here. And get the course text here.
I’m also going to ask students in this course for how my book, or the conclusions in it, could be revised or improved. So this is your chance to contribute any ideas and thoughts you may have had about that!

Let your friends, colleagues, and local groups and organizations know about this course, too. They might also be interested!
The course could fill so register soon! Late registration is possible but not guaranteed.
