Non-Fiction Religion
A rapidly growing demographic cohort in America,
non-religious parents are at the forefront of a major and
unprecedented cultural shift. Unable to fall back on what
they were taught as children, many of these parents are
struggling -- or simply failing -- to address complicated
religious questions and issues with their children in ways
that promote curiosity, kindness, and independence. Author Wendy Thomas Russell sifts through hard
data-including the results of her own survey of 1,000
nonreligious parents-and delivers gentle but straightforward
advice to this often-overlooked segment of the American
population. With a thoughtful voice infused with humor, Russell
seamlessly merges scientific thought, scholarly research,
and everyday experience with respect for a full range of
ways to view the world. Relax, It's Just God goes beyond the
numbers to give nonreligious parents a toolkit to assist
with their unique and complex issues and to usher in a more
compassionate generation. Relax, It's Just God aims to help nonreligious parents
struggling to find the right time place, tone and language
with which to talk about God. It encourages parents to
promote religious curiosity, communication and diversity by
lightening up and opening up about religion with their kids. By supporting kids as they explore religion on their own,
we ensure that they make up their own minds about what to
believe, or not believe -- and that they extend love and
respect to those who may not agree with them.
