I guess it depends on what you're looking for, but I found this a very intelligent and thoughtful collection of essays. I especially appreciated the general absence of vitriol. The essays, by and large, focus on the positive aspects of secular living. Many of the first half's contributions are heavily autobiographical which will be a mixed bag of relevance for the reader. A lot of the essays require some close reading to get through the dense writing. So it's not an easy or accessible show more volume, but it's worth the effort. show less
None of the essays in the first half are worth your time, not even Dennett's. The second half has a really good essay by David Owens, "Disenchantment."
