Good Without God (Special BOOK Excerpt) (Good Without God in Community: The Heart of Humanism) (Excerpt‪)‬

"IT'S NOT EASY to live a good life or be a good person--with or without a god," writes Harvard Humanist Chaplain Greg Epstein in the introduction to his new book, Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe. "Tolerant, fair-minded people of all religions or none do not dwell on the question of whether we can be good without God," Epstein continues. "The answer is yes. Period. Millions and millions of people are, every day. However, the question why we can be good without God is much more relevant and interesting. And the question of how we can be good without God is absolutely crucial. Those are the questions in this book--the essential questions asked and answered by Humanism." [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
