Reviews
To read this book and take in what it says might actually turn out to be, for some, a faith-building rather than a faith-undermining exercise
How does one present a review, in a publication read by believers in God, of a book that argues for atheism?
Certainly, I would not recommend this book to those who are young in their faith, but what about mature believers who are reasonably secure in theirs? I say ‘reasonably’ because, as it has been suggested, no-one can be wholly secure in their faith until and unless they have fully faced up to the arguments that are contrary to it and see where those arguments fall short. So to read this book and take in what it says might actually turn out to be, for some, a faith-building rather than a faith-undermining exercise...

A very thoughtful and accessible read. I appreciated that the author does not simply dismiss religion, but explores both the good it can offer and the harm that can arise when rigid fundamentalist beliefs are imposed, especially on children. His personal story of growing up in a strict religious family and questioning inherited beliefs is honest and engaging. I especially liked the sections on faith versus reason.

A Christian’s view
As a committed Christian I respected and admired the persuasive arguments of a former fellow student who struggled to escape from his bigotted upbringing. For such a serious subject I found the book almost convincing, and entertaining.
