About the Author -- Worldviews in Conflict -- Our Physical Universe - Beyond Belief -- Religion: Origins, Interpretations, and Current Practices -- Religion and the State: A Tyrannous Alliance -- Contemporary Interreligious Conflicts -- Acting on Sacred Values in a Scientific Age --.

The premises of sacred humanism are nonexistence of miraculous interventions and unknowability of the existence of supernatural beings. The evolution of humanity over billions of years after the Big Bang provides a basis for valuing life as sacred. As humans demand answers to the meaning of death, religion will not die. The New Atheists' claim that religion always leads to fanaticism is baseless. State-backed religion results in tyranny. In this book, Roy G. Saltman shows that sacred humanists work to implement their highest values that will improve this world.
