What really happened in Me Too? The Gender Church, The Trauma Culture, The Feminized Macho, are only a few of the terms revealed in Lovism. The millions of women who wanted to be treated as equals but could not relate to the aggressiveness and self-victimization of present-day feminism, could find in Lovism the word they were looking for to express their feelings and views without compromising their aspirations; gents who felt left out of a world created by radical feminism could finally join the women they love by saying with them "I am a Lovist". If you want to find love and to give love while all you see around you is anger, blaming, hate and fear, and wish that men and women could just talk to each other, and be with each other, because you long for one another, then you are not alone, and have many friends among the readers of this book. Lovism is a mutual conversation of, and for, both sexes, to replace the current hostility and competitive antagonism that extremists of both sexes have created between men and women. Feminism has implemented early on a separatist agenda and acted without including men, while drifting further and further away from the wishes and dreams of ordinary women, by adopting unfounded and rigid perspectives. In the process, ordinary men have become excluded from all discussions about the relations between the sexes, and male groups - while bringing to light some male issues - imitated the feminist separatism, fostering a similar reclusive attitude. All along, what most women and men were looking for was not a conflict, but a shared, mutual discussion, for both men and women, in which they could help each other to be happy together, and not through intimidation and fear but through understanding, sympathy and empathy. This is what Lovism is for. It is a movement of love. The book is critical of contemporary feminism and of its assumptions, which amount to imposing norms and demands that neither women nor men consider relevant to their relations, and which ultimately transforms feminism into a dictating party. Much of the book is devoted to replacing misconceptions with well-founded insights and beliefs about the sexes, without which no perspective could attend to people's actual emotions and dreams. Henry Blair is a novelist and a poet. Based on his experiences in the ideological left as a human rights worker and activist, he reveals how feminism has adopted views that contradict humanism and equality, similarly to the right-wing extremism. He portrays a new conversation, which is mutual and shared by both men and women, and is based on love and not on fear. He and his wife are the parents of a four-year-old boy; he has a master's degree in Neuroscience, a bachelor's degree in Psychology, and has a background in Philosophy, all become relevant in this book. While his books won several awards, Lovism appears under the alias Henry Blair.

The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems – both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.

An inspiring and provocative exploration of an alternative to traditional religion Questions about the role of God and religion in today's world have never been more relevant or felt more powerfully. Many of us are searching for a place where we can find not only facts and scientific reason but also hope and moral courage. For some, answers are found in the divine. For others, including the New Atheists, religion is an "enemy." But in Good Without God, Greg Epstein presents another, more balanced and inclusive response: Humanism. He highlights humanity's potential for goodness and the ways in which Humanists lead lives of purpose and compassion. Humanism can offer the sense of community we want and often need in good times and bad—and it teaches us that we can lead good and moral lives without the supernatural, without higher powers . . . without God.

There has been a bad-tempered quarrel between defenders and critics of religion in recent years. Both sides have expressed themselves acerbically because there is a very great deal at stake in the debate. This book thoroughly and calmly examines all the arguments and associated considerations offered in support of religious belief, and does so in full consciousness of the reasons people have for subscribing to religion, and the needs they seek to satisfy by doing so. And because it takes account of all the issues, its solutions carry great weight. The God Argument is the definitive examination of the issue, and a statement of the humanist outlook that recommends itself as the ethics of the genuinely reflective person.
