Drawing on philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and theology, it makes the case that belief is not a choice--and that salvation systems which reward or punish people for what they believe are therefore unjust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book doesn't attempt to settle the question of God's existence. Instead, it zeroes in on how belief works and why that matters. Through engaging arguments and real-world analogies, it offers a new lens through which to evaluate the logic and ethics of belief-based religion, particularly Christianity and Islam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central claim is simple but disruptive: belief cannot be chosen, and we should be judged instead by our honesty, integrity, and moral effort. \u003ci\u003eUnconvinced \u003c\/i\u003eis for readers who have wrestled with doubt and those who care about justice, truth, and the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prometheus Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":67683741958512,"sku":"9781493096329","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/1304\/3568\/files\/imageloader_a43735a2-4780-40fa-85c0-79960d0ac83f.jpg?v=1791609120","url":"https:\/\/aveson.store\/products\/unconvinced","provider":"Aveson","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
