Book Summary
Bringing a revolutionary communist voice to the current discourse about god, atheism, and morality, this treatise demystifies religious belief and examines how, even in its most progressive interpretations, religion stands in the way of the emancipation of humanity. Addressing numerous questions--such as "Is believing in gods actually harmful? ""How has Christianity served for centuries as an ideology of conquest and subjugation?" "Why is the "Bible Belt" in the U.S. also the "lynching belt?" "and" ""Why is patriarchy and the oppression of women foundational to so many religions?"--this critique takes issue with long-established traditions and suggests the necessity to fully rupture with all forms of superstition and embrace a truly scientific approach to understanding and transforming reality.
