Bertrand Russell/Why I Am Not A Christian
Number of pages:
4
ABSTRACT:
A 4 page book review that examines Russell's text Why I Am Not A Christian. In this book, Russell, the imminent British philosopher, presents his arguments against religion and specifically against Christianity. Russell carefully delineates all of the historical arguments for religious belief and systematically refutes them. His basic argument against religion, focusing specifically on the dogmas and rigid rules of the Catholic church, is that religion has retarded both the progress and happiness of the human race. Rather than look to divine intervention from a basis of fear, Russell advocates that humanity should rely on its own intrinsic powers in order to promote the social requirements for making a better world.
