Project Gutenberg 2008-05-02 Public domain in the USA. 166 Cohen, Chapman 1868 1954 Theism or Atheism: The Great Alternative Produced by Marilynda Fraser-Cunliffe, Martin Pettit and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Theism or Atheism: The Great Alternative" by Chapman Cohen is a philosophical examination written in the early 20th century. The work explores the profound debate between the beliefs in theism and atheism, proposing that the logical issue lies not just in the existence of God but also in the implications of belief itself. It aims to scrutinize traditional arguments for the existence of God, emphasizing their weaknesses and encouraging readers to consider a secular understanding of morality and existence. At the start of the book, Cohen establishes the context for his examination of theism by questioning the importance of belief in God in contemporary society. He argues that, unlike in primitive times when natural forces were often misinterpreted as actions of deities, modern knowledge shows that natural events occur independently of religious beliefs. Cohen suggests that the past understanding of God as a controlling force in the universe is outdated, and he emphasizes the need to critically assess how the idea of God has shaped social institutions, highlighting its often obstructive influence on moral and societal progress. Through this examination, Cohen sets up a framework for discussing the origins of theistic belief, preparing the ground for a deeper critique of its philosophical validity.
