Overview
Nielsen argues that morality cannot be based on religion, and that there is no evidence to show that nonbelievers despair or lose their sense of identity and purpose. He shows that the implications of Christian absolutism are more likely to be monstrous than are those of a secular ethic that incorporates an independent principle of justice."A valuable contribution." -Library Journal
". . . an important contribution to ethical theory in general as well as excellent reading for thoughtful humanists." -The Human Quest
"This thoughtful, stimulating, succinct argument gives the reader plenty to think about." -The Churchman
". . . worth reading." -Philosophy and Phenomenological Research
