Concilatory in its intentions, this book argues that the existence of God, belief in God, divine revelation, or a divine lawgiver are not necessary for morality, and that atheists, agnostics, free thinkers, and members of non-Abrahamic faiths can be just as moral as Christians. He offers a harm-based morality as one alternative, and points out the weaknesses in God-based morality. One particular statement he shows false is "If God is dead, everything is permitted." His objective is to make atheists less scary to Christians and to counter the ad hominem arguments so often directed against them individually and as a group. Free thinkers may find him over-cautious and bending over too far backwards to not offend Christians, particularly Evangelicals, whose views he wishes to modify.
