Religion for Atheists: A Non-Believer's Guide to the Uses of Religion by Alain de Botton
4.0
My full review of Religion For Atheists is up on Keeping Up With The Penguins.
Religion For Atheists is straight-forward in its layout, too: de Botton takes a problem in society, discusses how various religions have attempted to solve it, and then proposes a secular version that we might implement to better our lives. These problems are as varied as “Education”, “Pessimism”, “Community”, and so on. I’d heartily recommend it to anyone who’s curious about how stuff works, in general, and society/religion in particular.
