About the Book

Godless is not a wholesale attack on religion. It affirms the community-building, good works, and contemplative activities of religious organizations. It makes the case for a personal way of life guided by positive values and for communal organizations which should welcome rational, secular, humanist, agnostic, atheist, and spiritual understandings of reality. Godless describes communal worship which is uplifting but does not promote beliefs in irrational superstitions.

Godless synthesizes what Rasley has learned from his study of the Basa Rai in the Nepal Himalayas, from Quakers, and the American philosophy of Pragmatism. The book describes a values-based way of living derived from the author's cross-cultural experiences. It encourages a spiritual response of awe and gratitude for being alive and conscious in this wonderful shared world.
