Les religions sont trop utiles, trop efficaces et trop intelligentes pour être abandonnées aux seuls croyants. Délogées de leurs structures transcendantes ou surnaturelles, envisagées comme des sagesses à l'usage de tous, elles engendrent des sentiments de communauté humaine, encouragent la vertu, prônent des relations longues et durables, aident à contenir l'envie et le ressentiment, et luttent contre le matérialisme de la société de consommation. Leurs rituels et leurs lieux de culte enseignent l'importance de la beauté, du savoir et de la culture. Mais surtout, elles révèlent ce besoin d'être aimés et consolés qui ne peut jamais être entièrement satisfait par le cours ordinaire de la vie. Au lieu de moquer les religions, athées et agnostiques feraient mieux de «piller» les bonnes idées dont elles regorgent. Ce livre leur ouvre la voie avec un humour, une finesse et une perspicacité remarquables. Mêlant la plus grande impiété et le plus grand respect, Alain de Botton prend ainsi à revers le sempiternel débat qui oppose croyants et non-croyants, invitant les seconds à jouir de tous les outils de connaissance de soi que les religions ont élaborés au fil des siècles.

"In much of the Muslim world, religion is the central foundation upon which family, community, morality, and identity are built. The inextricable embedment of religion in Muslim culture has forced a new generation of non-believing Muslims to face the heavy costs of abandoning their parents' religion: disowned by their families, marginalized from their communities, imprisoned, or even sentenced to death by their governments. Struggling to reconcile the Muslim society he was living in as a scientist and physician and the religion he was being raised in, Ali A. Rizvi eventually loses his faith. Discovering that he is not alone in his beliefs, he moves to North America and promises to use his new freedom of speech to represent the voices that are usually quashed before reaching the mainstream media--the Atheist Muslim. In The Atheist Muslim, we follow Rizvi as he finds himself caught between two narrative voices he cannot relate to: extreme Islam and anti-Muslim bigotry in a post-9/11 world. The Atheist Muslim recounts the journey that allows Rizvi to criticize Islam--as one should be able to criticize any set of ideas--without demonizing his entire people. Emotionally and intellectually compelling, his personal story outlines the challenges of modern Islam and the factors that could help lead it toward a substantive, progressive reformation"--
