I just bought The Little Book of Atheist Spirituality by André Comte-Sponville and Nancy Huston. It's a short book (224 pages), and at $11.99, the Kindle edition only costs $1.50 (U.S.) more than the paperback. I guess that's because e-ink is more expensive than print ink, and they need a way to recoup their losses for the costs of all those ones and zeros in the binary code.

I have no idea what is meant by "Atheist Spirituality", but I suppose I'll soon find out.

In the meantime, folks may want to take a look at these two articles from Free Inquiry which are reprinted on The Council for Secular Humanism's website, http://www.secularhumanism.org/, and which may have a bearing on the subject.

"Taken in the Wrong Spirit" by Tom Flynn:

"Spiritual but Not Religious" by the editor of Free Inquiry, David Koepsell:
