Zeven vormen van atheïsme by John Gray
5.0
I’ve bounced between atheism and agnositicism most of my life, but I’ve never been the least bit interested in reading an entire book about atheism. Sometimes, the atheist crowd gets just as bad as religious groups. Like, you’re really going to read entire books, watch atheist videos on YouTube non-stop and even travel to an atheist convention? That’s bonkers. But I digress.
With the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the public response, I’ve wanted to learn more about how atheism clashes with politics. So, I grabbed this book because John Gray writes some epic books like Feline Philosophy, and I figured this would be just as good. It was. Like the title suggests, Gray breaks down different forms of atheism, and he comes out the gate in the first two chapters going in on some of the modern atheism and how silly it can get. From there, he discusses some historical figures in atheism and ends with the awesome Spinoza.
Fantastic book to learn more about the history of atheism and the nuances of the topic.
