Journalist Katherine Ozment’s Grace Without God is a thought-provoking exploration of how secular Americans find fulfillment without organized religion. A Nautilus Gold Award Winner: Religion and Spirituality of Other Traditions Studies show that religion makes us happier, healthier and more giving, connecting us to our past and creating tight communal bonds. Most Americans are raised in a religious tradition, but in recent decades many have begun to leave religion, and with it their ancient rituals, mythic narratives, and sense of belonging. So how do the nonreligious fill the need for ritual, story, community, and, above all, purpose and meaning without the one-stop shop of religion? What do they do with the space left after religion? With secularists swelling to one-fourth of American adults, and more than one-third of those under thirty, these questions have never been more urgent. Writer, journalist, and secular mother of three Katherine Ozment came face-to-face with this fundamental issue when her son asked her the simplest of questions: “what are we?” Unsettled by her replyー“Nothing”ーshe set out on a journey to find a better answer. She traversed the frontier of American secular life, sought guidance in science and the humanities, talked with noted scholars, and wrestled with her own family’s attempts to find meaning and connection after religion. Insightful, surprising, and compelling, Grace Without God is both a personal and critical exploration of the many ways nonreligious Americans create their own meaning and purpose in an increasingly secular age.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
