One of the world’s most famous contemporary philosophers is visiting Sydney. In the past, Alain de Botton’s essay-style books have unravelled love, travel, architecture and literature. Now he brings his distinctive style to the subject of religion. And not least, he asks what it offers non-believers. Disagreeing within the shunning of religion absolutely, he considers how atheists can reform a use or even appreciation of, what can be consoling and beautiful rituals and concepts. In his talk at Sydney Opera House, Religion for Atheists De Botton will fashion an interesting and, he hopes, helpful alternative.
