A short book published by SkyPilot Media in May 2017, addressed to a generation that increasingly calls itself post-religious. Its message is that everyone is religious, and Jethani argues with clarity and humour that faith is an unavoidable part of being human, even for people who have given up on institutional religion. Drawing on years of studying religion and talking with believers around the world, he sets out nine things he has learned about God, faith and the place of religion, in nine chapters, the first titled Everyone Is Religious and the last All You Need Is Love. Reviewers note that it reworks ideas from his earlier The Divine Commodity and With.
