Why I Am not Christian
Read Comments
I wanted a good book on atheism, and there it was.
Bertrand Russell is a great thinker and this book provides a very good starting point for everyone interested in atheism and religions in general.
Throughout the book, Russell tries to confute the more common explanations Christian usually use to explain the existence of God, and IMHO he’s successful.
Probably, I liked the book because I think almost the same things Russell believed, so it might be interested to know what others think about it.
Also, as I said, it’s a starting point: it’s not enough to read this book and personally I think it would be stupid to take everything is written there for granted.
Russell was a great personality and a well renown atheist, but many of the things he say in this book are just pointers to other books or articles the reader should read in case he/she wanted to go further in his/her research.
I’m very interested in religions, so I found the book a great read as I love to read about them.
Still, I think everyone would find this book interesting as religions are something anyone should care about, either if they are in favour or against. And nowadays, as always, religion is a big issue.
