Genre: Religion, Philosophy Publisher: Amazon Digital Services Release Date: 5/15/2013 Purchase On Amazon Synopsis: This book is the first in a series essentially arguing about the lack of abject morality of religion and its dangers. It’s broken down so each chapter is a topic on its own covering a variety subjects. When I first received this book, I just wasn’t sure what to expect. Sure, I have a lot of questions when it comes to the bible, and when asking them, I never really got answers. When Anti-Theist came across my desk, I thought, “Why Not?”. I started reading it and was surprised to find some of my questions right there in black and white, with an explanation as to why there is a question in the first place, then an answer that suited my curiosity. I thought this book very intriguing, provoking thought and insight, with an explanation behind every topic brought up. It’s not religion bashing, but this author’s take on the religious concepts we were all brought up on, including himself. Now, some of his descriptions and explanations I didn’t agree with, but again it comes back to one opinion vs. another. All in all, I thought this an excellent book giving insight into the different categories of religion, atheism, and anti-theism. Very well written too, and much more than just religion...it’s food for thought!
