Synopsis

A counterweight to the profusion of pious collections, "The Atheist's Bible" brings together the best and brightest of history's non-believers: great scientists, writers, philosophers and comedians throughout history who have questioned the wisdom (and sanity) of organised religion. Far from being a cynical polemic, this bible shares the same joy, love of beauty and human wonder that religious books of quotations provide, but with a healthy dose of independent thought, and without dogma. From Sophocles to Homer Simpson, from Einstein to the Marquis de Sade, these geniuses and jokers provide an incisive, witty perspective on the eternal questions of God and truth.

Media Reviews
'When I think of all the harm [the bible] has done, I despair of ever writing anything to equal it' Oscar Wilde 'The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one' George Bernard Shaw
