Does God Believe in Atheists?
Evangelical Press has just published what it is calling its 'Book of the year', a major treatment of atheism and agnosticism by Christian Ministries evangelist, John Blanchard. Entitled Does God believe in atheists? It traces the development of atheistic thinking from the 'Golden Age' of Greek philosophy to the present day. Here is an edited extract from the book's chapter on secular humanism.

The first article in Humanist Manifesto II includes the words: 'We find insufficient evidence for the existence of a supernatural'. This blunt dismissal of deity is underlined by a promotional leaflet issued by the International Humanist and Ethical Union and which 'presents the case for understanding the world without reference to a god', while in his recent book All in the mind Sir Ludovic Kennedy claims 'definitely to disprove the existence of God'.
