Transcenders: Living beyond religion and the religion wars.

By Jonathan J. Prinz

Every year more of us including 1 in 3 young adults are leaving religion behind. They are now America's largest and fastest growing minority, bar none. Motivated by the author's own journey from pulpit rabbi to being one of them, Transcenders: Living beyond religion and the religion wars presents both the reasons why so many have turned from religion and the challenges they face in a country where religion is the assumed default. Part of that default is seen in branding those without religion as nonbelievers, a term Prinz labels a pejorative suggesting they have no beliefs. Nothing could be further from the truth. So he puts forth "transcenders", a name to more accurately identify those who have opted to move on from religion. The book explores god-invention, individual identity, truth, purpose, immortality, community and wonder along with what lies ahead for transcenders in the years to come. It speaks without anger to and for transcenders and equally to those who want to understand why so many have left religion behind.
