Is there truth to the claims by many atheists that religion causes wars, is incompatible with science, and will soon be replaced by atheism? Would humanity improve if religion was eliminated? What effect does religious faith have on individuals and society?
This book examines numerous accusations against religion and presents a widely researched and concise investigation of these claims. As the attacks are wide-ranging, so is the scope of this book. From the oft-repeated claim that religious people are less intelligent, to Galileo's supposedly proving religion's anti-scientific bent, to criticisms of the Old Testament. This search for answers often has surprising results. Fundamentally, this book is not simply an investigation but also a call to reexamine the way that we hold this conversation. By increasing understanding of others' perspectives, we can hopefully move away from negativity. In our collective search for the truth, atheists and the religious alike should endeavor to maintain mutual respect and love.
