Every person organizes their inner life around something that functions like a god. Not necessarily a supernatural being. But something treated as beyond question, something that shapes every major decision, something whose removal would feel like the collapse of everything.Atheists are no exception.The God of Atheist examines what secular people actually worship without knowing it. Reason elevated to dogma. Science treated as scripture. The self installed as the supreme authority. Moral convictions held with the certainty of revelation but without a foundation that can justify them.This book does not argue that God exists. It argues that the human need for a supreme organizing value never disappears. It only changes its object.Written for readers who have left religion but never stopped searching, this book offers an honest examination of the beliefs behind unbelief.
