Good topics, good discussion, good points, well reasoned. This should make all but the most close-minded think. Recommended. ( ) Brilliant book. Should be read by every atheist and theist. Found it challenging, provocative, and carefully reasoned. One of the most compelling books I've read by an atheist. Author is an anthropologist and “philosopher” and the material he provides on religions generally is excellent. Promotes what he calls discredism - the complete eschewal of belief defined as something held by someone without adequate evidence. Argues that atheists must stop letting religionists (in particular Christians) set the terms of the debate in modern society. Has fascinating discussions on a range of issues including morality and the history of Western religious thought. Thoroughly enjoyed this book which was “meaty” but clearly articulated. Will add his previous book to my to-read list! no reviews | add a review
