God for Atheists and Believers proposes an ecumenical framework in which faith and reason work together to support dialogue in the public square. Engaging Alfred North Whitehead's panentheism alongside Ved¿nta and contemporary philosophy (Habermas, Taylor, de Botton), the book contends that religious and secular worldviews can translate their convictions into shared, testable claims for civic cooperation. Organized as a progression-from the individual (perception, consciousness, transcendence), to the community (validation and tradition), to religion (ritual, texts, belief), to society (values, institutions), knowledge (disciplines and science), theology (a rational, process-oriented synthesis), and value (ethics and purpose)-the work shows how ideas become practices and policies. A closing "Validate" chapter and two applied appendices demonstrate how disciplined dialogue and engineering-style methods (clarifying assumptions, modeling trade-offs, testing implications) can convert disagreement into workable norms and actions. Written for believers, skeptics, and civic leaders, the book offers a practical methodology for recovering truth-seeking discourse across scientific, religious, and political domains.
