Summary
Can an atheist also be spiritual? This book's title is loved by Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God.
Provocative and daring, Spiritual Atheist challenges the views of many atheists and people of religions alike. The book suggests one possible truth that atheism and religion might just agree. The audacity of the book’s aim—finding a common ground rooted in spirituality—is only exceeded by its potential controversy.
The book asks and answers these difficult questions:
1. What is eternal life?
2. Who are we? Where did we come from?
3. Where did science and religion fail?
4. Where are science and religion helpful?
5. Where do science and religion meet?
6. What of God? What of life? What of humans?
8. Can atheists be spiritual?
Peter Ahkia’s uncompromising authenticity to point out what is so will at least prompt you to challenge the views and come up with your own truth.
"I love the title. The juxtaposition of those two words is great. “Spiritual Atheist” is terrific…As soon as I see that on the bookshelf, I gotta at least pick it up and turn it over to see, you know, what’s on the back cover." (Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God, personal communication, December 11, 2023). Not meant as an endorsement of the book.

This book is simply genius
Upon seeing the title of the book, you might think that Spiritual and Atheist are contradictory. Peter Ahkia takes a different approach to defining religion, spirituality, and atheism. He takes an unbiased and objective stance on the breakthroughs and shortcomings of both science and religion, highlighting that they are neutral ideas of thought that can do wonders to help us understand and find the truth more clearly, but also be wielded for power to influence the thoughts and behaviors of their followers/believers for control.
In the end, we are all seeking a perspective that is most practical and beneficial to our lives. In that sense. the truth is also subjective. By adopting the idea that all is one, everything has existed and will continue to exist forever, and that all is love. We are able to find a common ground between religion, science, spirituality, and atheism that fosters peace and alignment with our best interests.
It also dives deep into the idea of the meaning of life and how it is all an illusion based on how we choose to see things. Life truly has the outcomes and meanings that we decide and the purpose of life is for us to experience it all—the ups and downs, highs and lows are all part of the beautiful human experience that gives life meaning.
I would recommend this book to everyone so that they can gain a higher perspective on life and existence. Some may understand it, some won't, but in the end it isn't good or bad, it just is, as the author states.

a great listening and learning
i feel this book really makes you think, like, can you not believe in god but still feel something more out there? i dont know how to explain but it gives me a feeling that it tries to bring together two things that seem totally opposite. the author has a way of poking at what you thought was true and making you question it all. didn't think a book could make me look at atheism and spirituality in a new light, but here we are. it's not just about arguing points but feeling out where science and faith overlap. some bits were a bit over my head, but it's somewhat interesting to think about these big questions. definitely a book that sticks with me.
