While I do agree with most of the things Bakunin argues about the idea of banishing the concept of a God from our minds as a means of separatin  us from systems that utilize idealistic or diestic thinking to supress us, as well as his many arguments on ways in which we can abolish unjust heirachies, I find that his shameless anti-semitism is hard to get around. His arguments are less for it, as anti-semitism is (like all bigotry) intellectually bankrupt, and some of his points about the Judeo-christian god are based in the anti-intellectualism of anti-semitism.
