The Necessity of Atheism

This antiquarian book contains a fascinating treatise on atheism, religion, and science. A thought-provoking and informative exploration of the ostensibly opposed ideas and beliefs of science and popular religion, this volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the development of religious beliefs and the validity of alternative theories. The chapters of this book include: "The Revolution of Religious Beliefs", "The Koran and the Old and New Testaments", "The Prophets Mohammed, Jesus, And Moses - Charlatans or Victims of Mental and Physical Disease", "Soundness of a Foundation for A Belief in a Deity", "The Persistence of Religion", "Religion and Science", etcetera. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on atheism.
