Could Atheists Have a Way?

You can provide atheists with a way, but can you make them walk it? Eric Maisel's book, The Atheist's Way: Living Well Without Gods does not attempt to answer this question. Indeed, as a handbook, this one has very little new information to offer atheists. If you have been an atheist for any length of time, you have probably thought through all of Maisel's arguments yourself. Most atheists, Maisel included, would agree that there is no one way for atheists simply because everyone has a different thought process.

Instead, The Atheist's Way seems geared more toward those people who are still seeking a life philosophy. It is less of a how-to manual than an explanation of atheism for the non-atheists.

"How can you live without believing in God?" asks the dissatisfied Christian.

"What is the purpose of life without the promise of an afterlife?" asks the nihilist.

"What do you believe?" asks the interested friend.

"I'm an atheist, now what?" asks the newly converted.

This is an easy, fast read. If you want to know how another atheist thinks, this book provides good insight. Parts of it can be skipped (particularly chapters nine and ten). All in all, it's worth a shot. And, if you're into positive atheism, pass it on to a believer friend.
