The Spritual Atheist

<p><strong>Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.</strong> </p><p><em>--Isaac Newton</em> </p><p>In a world where spirituality and atheism are often seen as mutually exclusive this book offers a refreshing and thought-provoking perspective. <em>I am an Atheist: A Guide for Spiritual Growth of Atheists</em> is not a book about converting atheists to a particular faith or creed. Rather it is an invitation to explore the depths of human experience to discover the richness of spiritual growth and to cultivate a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in life. </p><p>As an atheist you may have been told that your lack of belief in a higher power means you are devoid of spirituality.

Rather it is a universal human impulse that can be cultivated and expressed in countless ways. </p><p>Through this book we will explore the many facets of spiritual growth that are available to atheists. We will examine the ways in which atheists can cultivate a sense of awe and wonder develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world and foster a greater sense of compassion and empathy for others. </p><p>We will also examine the complexities of the human experience exploring the ways in which our experiences of joy and suffering love and loss can shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. </p><p>This book is not a dogmatic or prescriptive guide.
