Help! My Kid Is an Atheist: How to relate to the nonbelievers in your life with confidence and compassion (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Help! My Kid Is an Atheist: How to relate to the nonbelievers in your life with confidence and compassion (en Inglés)"
Today, more than 30 percent of Americans do not believe in a personal god. No longer a hidden minority, these atheists, agnostics, and skeptics-borne from the scientific exposure and cultural mixing of the information age-have found strength in numbers. And whoever the nonbelievers in your own life may be, one thing is clear: You can't necessarily expect them to return to faith on their own. For better or worse, the societal influence of religious skepticism, and even outright atheism, is here to stay. Help! My Kid Is an Atheist shows you how these nonbelievers see the world and why they think it is incompatible with a religious perspective. Rather than treating these individuals-our neighbors, our brothers and sisters, and our children-as misguided, or as though their interest in secular life is only a passing phase, Help! My Kid Is an Atheist explains how they came by their current point of view and why it won't be easy to change. Yet it is possible to relate to them in a deep and meaningful way, even when it comes to scientific conflicts, political divisions, and diverging views on human purpose and morality. Instead of taking sides, Help! My Kid Is an Atheist teaches you how to communicate with the nonbelievers in your life without triggering defensive or argumentative reactions. It describes how to establish a genuine dialogue about each of your beliefs, how to discover a reassuringly large amount of common ground, and how to come together in the spirit of partnership and mutual respect.
