Not the first time a philosopher has argued against the unobservable being unbelievable, but quite a good attack nonetheless. Grayling's point on 'atheism' being used by religious believers to keep the debate on their turf is an excellent one. Also, his promotion of kindness, rather than giving religions respect simply because they are religions, appeals to me. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In a series of bold, unsparing polemics, A C Grayling exposes the dangerous unreason he sees at the heart of religious faith and highlights the urgent need we have to reject it in all its forms, without compromise. In its place he argues for a set of values based on reason, reflection, and sympathy, taking his cue from the great ethical tradition of Western philosophy.

Sometimes the same point or the same simile is recycled in several essays, but since they are only a few pages long, that's only a quibble. More importantly, after a series of essays arguing against supernaturalism, the bundle concludes with a piece arguing for humanism, careful consideration and kindness, ending on a positive note what might otherwise have been perceived as an all-negative rant.
