Fighting God: An Atheist Manifesto for a Religious World by Cara Santa Maria, David Silverman
4.0
I generally liked this book. With a similar topic to the God Delusion by Dawkins but without the condescension, this book made a pretty clear has why it's important to stand up for atheism. I did not know before reading this how much Christianity has co-opted and twisted the rules of this country to benefit itself, and how other religions do the same thing around the world. Religion, not religious people, is a threat to tolerance, democracy and equality under the law.
What I liked about this book vs. the God Delusion is Silverman tries to make it clear that religious people are just as much victims of the "meme" of religion as we are. They should try to be helped, instead of mocked and ridiculed like Dawkins suggests. However, despite his best intentions, Silverman veers into mocking territory too often for my tastes.
But hey, as he says, we need both types of atheists.
