  Book Description
  Publication Date: November 1,
2011
  During his 2009 inaugural speech, President Obama described the United States as a nation of
"Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus--and nonbelievers." It was the first time an American president had
acknowledged the existence of this rapidly growing segment of the population in such a public forum. And yet the reasons
why more and more people are turning away from religion are still poorly understood. In Faith No More, Phil Zuckerman
draws on in-depth interviews with people who have left religion to find out what's really behind the process of losing
one's faith. According to a 2008 study, so many Americans claim no religion (15%, up from 8% in 1990) that this category
now outranks every other religious group except Catholics and Baptists. Exploring the deeper stories within such survey
data, Zuckerman shows that leaving one's faith is a highly personal, complex, and drawn-out process. And he finds that,
rather than the cliche of the angry, nihilistic atheist, apostates are life-affirming, courageous, highly intelligent
and inquisitive, and deeply moral. Zuckerman predicts that this trend toward nonbelief will likely continue and argues
that the sooner we recognize that religion is frequently and freely rejected by all sorts of men and women, the sooner
our understanding of the human condition will improve. The first book of its kind, Faith No More will appeal to anyone
interested in the "New Atheism" and indeed to anyone wishing to more fully understand our changing relationship to
religious faith.
  
  
  Reviews
  "Everyone knows, deep down, that there is a conflict between reason and faith-between having good reasons for what
one believes and having bad ones. This conflict finds its most poignant expression in the lives of men and women who
have lost their belief in God despite their best efforts to maintain it. Faith No More offers a fascinating look at
these lives, and at the myriad ways in which thoughtful people can come to their senses."--Sam Harris, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Moral Landscape, Letter to a Christian
Nation, and The End of Faith
  
  "With Faith No More Philip Zuckerman has given us a fascinating
look at how individual contemporary Americans raised in various religions awakened out of a belief in the supernatural.
His care in not rounding all these up into any facile overarching theories is itself almost supernatural, and yet in
this careful reporting of their stories he manages to offer a great deal of insight. It is a wonderfully informative and
provocative study and should be read by everyone interested in the real experience of religion and irreligion."--Jennifer Michael Hecht, author of Doubt: A History
  
  "Faith No More helps
us understand the diverse routes people take to irreligiosity and the dilemmas they face in a culture that often
condemns them. Far from being kneejerk atheists, it turns out that the most secular Americans have actually spent a lot
of time wrestling with their faith. Documenting their journeys and placing them in sociological context, this book
establishes Phil Zuckerman as one of the most sophisticated analysts of secularity today."--Arlene Stein, Professor of Sociology, Rutgers University
  
  "This
could-be-dry content proves immensely engaging because of Zuckerman's jargon-free exposition and his seamless
incorporation of interview material rendered apparently verbatim-verbal tics("like,"you know," etc) and all-in the
manner of a good documentary film."--Ray Olson, Booklist
  
 
"Zuckerman's writing is engaging and straightforward, which makes for enjoyable reading...[Faith No More] is laudable
for its rich interview data, readability, and insight into the lived experiences of American apostates."--Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion
  
  "This is an absorbing book
that puts flesh on the bones of recent identifiable trends in American nonbelief and, in turn, profoundly questions the
assumption of a 'spiritual turn' in Western societies. Moreover, it provides distinctive insights into the complexities
of belief, nonbelief, doubt and scepticism."--Social Forces
  
 
"Zuckerman here builds on his previous work which examined 'Society without God,' that is, Nordic countries which rank
amongst the least religious places in the world. In this book he combines qualitative interviews and rich descriptions
to produce an interesting and well written book."--Catholic Books Review
 

  "The interview data are valuable for research on irreligion in America. The book will probably be enjoyed most
by readers who, like Zuckerman's subjects, have lost their religion. These readers are likely to feel encouraged that
they are not alone, that it takes courage to do what they have done, and that life can be good without religion."--Sociology of Religion
