Full disclosure: I am an atheist. I purchased this book hoping for some insight into the arguments supporting religion or against atheism in order to better understand and respect viewpoints other than my own. Based on descriptions of this book, and the title itself, I expected to find those here. Far from it.

Ray creates his own image of an atheist and their beliefs that is far from reality and proceed to tear down those false images. He provides no evidence for the existence of God beyond the bible itself, all of "creation", and the human conscience. None of these arguments have any meaning to the vast majority of people who don't already share Ray's beliefs.

Throughout the book he simply insults atheists as being illogical and not nearly as intelligent as he claims they think they are, all the while he provides no logical or intelligent arguments supporting the claims.

My low rating of this book is not because I disagree with his position, it is because of the flawed logic used throughout and the lack of evidence to support his claims.

If you are a Christian looking for a book that will encourage you to feel secure in your beliefs, I think this book will accomplish that. If you are an atheist looking for a book to challenge your beliefs, keep looking, this is not the book for you. ( )
