Objective Morality Without God? A Friendly Debate between an Atheist and a Christian

Tom Jump, Atheist Philosopher, Debater & Author

Can morality exist in an absolute sense without God? Tom Jump, an atheist, says yes - objective morality can be found in nature. Rick Mattson, a Christian, says no - objective morality can be found only in God. In this book of 220 pages, two friends debate the basis of objective morality. Along the way, they learn much about each other as they engage in honest, civil dialogue. A helpful book for atheists, Christians, and anyone concerned about morality in the modern world. Forward by Dr. David K. Clark.

About Tom Jump

Atheist Philosopher, Debater & Author

Tom Jump is an atheist philosopher, debater and author whose YouTube channel, TJump, has 32,000 subscribers. He tackles some of the biggest questions at the intersection of religion, reason and ethics, engaging with Christian theologians, philosophers and other thinkers on the existence of God and the foundations of morality.

What sets Tom apart is his distinctive approach to debate: rather than relying solely on familiar atheist objections, he evaluates religious arguments from the perspective of the people who make them. His work challenges the assumption that objective morality requires belief in God and explores how people distinguish sound evidence from flawed reasoning.

Tom is the co-author of Objective Morality Without God? and founder of the Church of the Best Possible World, a secular initiative built around his model of morality. He is especially suited to podcasts that welcome rigorous but accessible conversations about atheism, Christianity, evidence, objective morality, the meaning of life and whether belief in God is reasonable.

Podcast hosts can expect a guest who is comfortable with disagreement and direct debate. Tom is particularly interested in speaking with Christian or religious audiences and discussing questions such as whether there is evidence for God, what morality is, how moral claims can be grounded without a deity and how competing worldviews should be evaluated.
