Ms. Taylor does a marvelous job of reconstructing a powerful, cohesive, and spiritual approach to the Christian faith with integrity for the twenty first century. And she does this in a few short pages.

Most progressive churches do welcome people who are convinced that Charles Darwin got it right, but the acceptance they receive is a bit like what gay and lesbian people get from the military.  As long as no one addresses the subject directly, everybody can get along.  The Christians who are satisfied with this approach are able to accept Darwin when they are in a conversation about science and to accept God as the creator when they are in church.  They would rather not think too much about the apparent contradiction.  If pressed, they usually take what a trained theologian would call a deist position.  God set the whole universe in motion, including the capacity of life forms to evolve into new species.  Never mind the implication that God's design allowed for viruses and earthquakes that kill millions of people.  When pressed to confront the logical contradictions in accepting both Darwin and God, such people tend to respond vaguely with talk about mystery.  Mystery is the last refuge of determined believers when faced with gaps in their logic.

Recently Newsweek conducted a poll and found that 91 percent of Americans believe in God. A more nuanced Financial Times/Harris poll of Europeans and Americans found that 73 percent of those polled believe in God as a "supreme being." A Baylor Religion Survey of more than 1700 people found that 73 percent believe in God as a "higher power." Such polls are of little value because there is no common understanding of what the word God means. But it is probably fair to say that a high percentage of the people polled believe in God as a supreme being or a higher being whatever else they believe about God.

I think it is helpful for  Christians that five books by atheists have recently been published and appeared on the best seller list the past two years - Sam Harris's The EndLetter To A Christian Nation, Daniel Dennett's Breaking The Spell, Richard Dawkin's The God Illusion, and Christopher Hitchen's God is Not Great. Another book, God at 2000, edited by Marcus Borg and Ross Mackenzie, published in 2000, is a collection of essays by seven well - known scholars from a variety of faith perspectives, who seek to describe the "changing ways we think about God at the beginning of the 21^st century." These books might encourage Christians to give thought to what they mean when they say they believe in God.

The common belief in God is usually called theism or more precisely supernatural theism. It is the concept that God is a Being in heaven who created the world and from time to time intervenes in the world to assert his will. In her book The History of God, Karen Armstrong states that this concept of God is evident in the history of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is this concept of God which the atheist authors of the five books deny. It is my contention that Christians should also be atheists about such a concept of God. If I were asked by a pollster if I believed in God I would, as an ordained clergyman, say No!
