Excerpt from Present-Day Rationalism: Critically Examined
The present work is an attempt to point out and refute some of the fallacies of present-day rationalism and materialism.
Since the Rationalist Press Association was established in 1899, and has for its object the diffusion of cheap editions of rationalistic and atheistic works, it is worth while trying to explain to unscientific readers the erroneous assumptions made in their reasonings.
Of course, many secularistic and rationalistic writings are directed against Christian theological dogmas, especially, perhaps, those of the late Mr. Bradlaugh's days in the "Seventies". I do not enter upon this field of controversy, beyond stating the bases of belief in God, free will and immortality.
