Without God: Science, Belief, Morality, and the Meaning of Life

By Zachary Broom

Book Overview

What remains when belief in God disappears, but our sense of evil does not?

In Without God, Zachary Broom examines what happens when God is removed from our understanding of morality, meaning, human dignity, and even reason itself. Rather than attacking atheism from the outside, the book follows its claims carefully and asks whether life without God can actually sustain them.

Drawing directly from secular thinkers such as Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Bertrand Russell, Broom engages their arguments on their own terms. The focus is not on scoring points, but on staying with the implications. Moral obligation, human value, and rational trust do not stand on their own. They require an explanation, or they are reduced to preference, survival, or habit.

Along the way, the book explores questions such as:

What becomes of moral obligation if no one stands above us?If humans are only matter in motion, what grounds real human worth?Can a world without God account for evil without reducing it to preference or biology?What must be true for reason itself to be trusted?

Without God is not a debate manual or a survey of atheist literature. It is a sustained examination of lived human experience and explanatory limits. Written in a clear and respectful tone, it follows these questions where they lead, without forcing easy conclusions.

For skeptics who want more than slogans, and for believers who want more than thin answers, this book follows doubt to its farthest reach and asks whether life without God can finally carry the weight we place upon it.
