An Alternative to Believing in Nothing: Deism for the 21st Century (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998800306)

If you are one of the 29% of adults in the United States who are unaffiliated with an organized religion, come and discover what you may be looking for. This book unveils a philosophy and belief system that people wish they had known about much sooner.

An Alternative to Believing in Nothing offers a bold yet reasoned path for readers unaffiliated with organized religion yet unwilling to accept a purely materialist worldview. Reviving the Enlightenment ideals of Deism, the book explores how reason, nature, and a non-dogmatic belief in a Creator can provide meaning, morality, and wonder.

An Alternative to Believing in Nothing is an uplifting resource for those caught between faith and non-belief. Whether you've never been religiously affiliated or you have drifted away from a religion, this book introduces a third path-one guided by reason, grounded in nature, and open to discovery. A compelling path for those who reject traditional faith yet still seek purpose, morality, and wonder. Drawing on the forgotten wisdom of Deism, this book reintroduces a belief in a Creator grounded in reason and nature only.

Blending history, philosophy, and contemporary relevance, the book speaks to the agnostics, the spiritual but not religious, the skeptics, and the independent thinkers - especially young adults - who feel caught between religion and non-belief.

• • Take a brief look at current religious trends in the United States
  • Understand a philosophy and belief system more than 300 years old known as Deism.

  • Consider fascinating cosmological and biological discoveries that support the concept of Intelligent Design.
  • Understand a way forward for the religiously unaffiliated seeking to find their spiritual identity through a simple, sensible, and rational belief system.
