Atheism: The Case Against God - George H. Smith

[Belacqua]

Has anyone read this book? I'm halfway through finally, and it's actually not bad from a philosophical angle. If you thought Hitchens' "God is not Great", Dawkins' "The God Delusion", and Harris' "The End of Faith" were rather unfulfilling in this respect, give this book a read. Though a little outdated now and not in tune with the latest discoveries of modern science, and though Smith is very aggressively anti-theist, he nevertheless takes the arguments made by theists seriously and provides precise and perhaps very pedantic counters to the arguments (without going over the top with flowery language). It's not the most entertaining read, though, but it's got value.

Here's a review of the book by another philosopher of religion, who is also atheist, who has also published books arguing for atheism.

I won't use LibGen and I'm frankly a little surprised that you would.

I was pleased to see that three different people uploaded my book to LibGen. It is a solid vote that they consider it to be worth reading, and ensures it will be available to everyone who wants it.
