What if you don't believe, won't believe or simply can't? Whether you're a hard core atheist, heretical apostate or just a wishy-washy doubting Thomas, the big human issues of meaning, ritual, belonging, death and suffering still have to be faced.
Dick Gross has written and broadcast on these issues from a godless perspective for over a decade. Join him on his blog as he wanders through the big issues of existence without a god to help him. Even though he is more than a little neurotic, even Dick has found that a life lived without the "G" word is not so scary.

Richard Gross is a 55+ year old Australian born Jew who is quite accomplished by the world's standards;

• Bachelor and Masters of Laws
• Media presenter on the 9 Network and SBS
• Member of the Order Australia
• Author of 4 books including "A Godless Gospel" (1999)
• 3 time Mayor of the City of Port Phillip

How is it that Dick Gross is given a national platform, in every major newspapers across Australia, to preach his "gospel" and spread his religion of Atheism, while the true Gospel of Jesus Christ is suppressed and/or misrepresented in the media everyday.

My son was recently a reindeer in a kindergarten nativity play. Over dinner, in a cautious whisper, he told us that the baby's name was a 'bad word'... my son thinks 'Jesus' is a curse, not the name of God's only begotten Son.

I'm not anti-religion, unless it's passed off as science, smuggled into education or used as a weapon of coercion.

But our family has no God or gods.

But for anyone who shares our spirit, the ambition's a good one: replace an off-the-shelf Christmas with bespoke atheist celebration.

I don't necessaily agree with Mr. Smith about Karma; its the principle of sowing and repeaping. But the rest I agree
