Story4.5 out of 5 stars 545
Dr. Richard Carrier, world-renowned philosopher and historian, explains the four reasons he does not accept the Christian religion, describing four facts of the world that, had they been different, he would believe. Those four reasons are God's silence, God's inaction, the lack of evidence, and the way the universe looks exactly like a godless universe would, and not at all like a Christian universe would, even down to its very structure. Dr. Carrier addresses all the usual replies to these claims.

Four Foundational Pillars Demolished
- By Winston D. Jen on 05-26-13
succinctly stated
Reviewed: 08-29-15
for free instrumental refutation of Christian theory of of cosmology and theology. while a person may believe what so ever they choose, and I emphatically believe in their right to do so, they can no longer accept this particular belief system without necessarily inheriting the cognitive dissonance of faith over reason and the awareness that evidence for their belief is either anecdotal or absent. It may be the most important thing in a person's entire life, but that will not bring it any nearer to resembling the truth.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 649
For all the thousands of books that have been written about religion, few until this one have attempted to examine it scientifically: to ask why - and how - it has shaped so many lives so strongly. Is religion a product of blind evolutionary instinct or rational choice? Is it truly the best way to live a moral life? Ranging through biology, history, and psychology, Daniel C. Dennett charts religion’s evolution from “wild” folk belief to “domesticated” dogma.
