The Atheist Manifesto: The Case Against Christianity, Judaism and Islam

Not since Nietzsche proclaimed the death of God has a work so groundbreaking appeared to question the fundamental tenets of the world's three major monotheistic religions. Documenting the ravages of religious intolerance over the centuries, Onfray makes a devastating case against Christianity, Judaism and Islam for their contempt for reason and intelligence, individual freedom, sexuality and pleasure, and for science. He argues all three demand blind faith and belief, obedience and submission, and extol the 'next life' to the detriment of the here and now. Persuasively argued, The Atheist Manifesto is a radical call for sanity in an age of religious unreason.
