In Defense of Atheism | Michel Onfray

1 post | 6 read | 1 to read

In the 21st century, religion is making a comeback, bringing in its wake a resurgence of fundamentalism. "In Defense of Atheism" demonstrates that organized religion is motivated by worldly, historical, and political power and exposes some uncomfortable truths. If Nietzsche proclaimed the death of God, Onfray states that not only is God still very much alive but increasingly controlled by fundamentalists who pose a danger to the human race. Persuasively argued, this book is a radical call for sanity in an age of religious unreason.

Atheist Manifesto: The Case Against Christianity, Judaism, and Islam | Michel Onfray, Jeremy Leggatt

pick

3/5
Interesting read to me. I like reading philosophical books like that to expand my own critical thinking: I keep some, and I leave some. Some points he makes in this book are definitely offering food for thoughts.
Michel Onfray is atheist, very much opposed to religions, and in this book, he of course criticizes the three monotheisms, mainly Christianity and Islam, and also presents thoughts on atheism (but not enough for me).
