Godless Morality: Keeping Religion Out of Ethics

Richard Holloway

If the use of God in a moral debate raises more problems than it solves, is it better to leave God out of the argument altogether and find strong human reasons for the rules we live by? Godless Morality is a refreshing, courageous and human-centered justification for contemporary morality.
