Description

|
|
|
This tightly argued, hugely controversial work by a leading French philosopher convincingly tars the world's major monotheistic religions with their repeated campaigns to suppress knowledge, science, expression, sexuality, and women in general—often murderously. Michel Onfray demonstrates how each religion's holy texts have been altered, misused, and corrupted to suit the transient ideologies and purposes of religious leaders. Nietzsche proclaimed the death of God, but Onfray argues that God is still very much alive, and increasingly controlled by fundamentalists whose intransigence poses a real threat to the survival of the human race. "It may not be the Good News, but it is great news."—Stephen Colbert
