In Defense of Atheism

In the 21st century, religion is making a comeback, bringing in its wake a resurgence of fundamentalism. "In Defense of Atheism" demonstrates that organized religion is motivated by worldly, historical, and political power and exposes some uncomfortable truths. If Nietzsche proclaimed the death of God, Onfray states that not only is God still very much alive but increasingly controlled by fundamentalists who pose a danger to the human race. Persuasively argued, this book is a radical call for sanity in an age of religious unreason.
