Forbidden Fruit
Paul Kurtz, America's leading secular humanist philosopher, affirms that it is possible to live the good life and be morally responsible, without belief in religion.

The book asserts that humanistic ethics, as the central spirit of the humanities, includes both epistemology and action dynamics. The pertinent activation of both depends definitively on the subject’s free willpower.
