If you are already a sceptic, you'll love this., 1 Oct 1999

This review is from: All in the Mind: Farewell to God (Hardcover)

The fact that I agreed with the Author before I started the book meant that he didn't need to convince me of anything. For this reason I don't know if this book will actually convert any of it's readers who start out with a bit of faith.

Skeptics will love it however. It provides a good overview of the evolution of religion. It also gives details on some of the less pleasant activities which have been carried out in the name of God. All very useful if you should find yourself in a debate, And even more useful if you feel like starting one.

I felt it went down hill a bit towards the end. I don't know why but the discussion about the current and future state of religion was not nearly as interesting as it's past.

Overall well worth reading.
