Amazon Customer: As a practicing atheist, I’m so glad I came across this book! It pretty much summarized everything that led me away from the religion in which I was raised (Judaism) and brought me into the ranks of - first, agnostics and then - full-fledged atheists. Not only does it dissect the three main religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) into pieces and explains how each “bible” is basically a collection of tales full of contradictions and unsupported arguments that aim at the only one thing: submission and ignorance, blind faith into their teachings and denial of anything that goes against them, the subjugation of the masses and condemnation of individualism in the name of a fictional deity. Bringing up historical and scientific proof, the author does an excellent job in proving how all three “holy books” were written by different people in a span of hundreds of years, with multiple additions and rewritings and extractions until they took their present shape and caused multiple holy wars, genocides, persecutions, witch hunts, inquisitions, terrorist acts, not mentioning the thriving misogyny they all promote and the hatred of everything earthly (free consensual - read...

BGI: reviews telling you that this book or the author are rubbish are most likely extreme religious people with no place in their mind for philosophical thinking.

Dr. Ezzat F Guirguis: The writer exhibits all the symptoms of Manic disorder. Hypergraphia, clanging and flight of ideas.
Like all so called atheists, he is really anti religious. He denounces God because religion has monopolized Him. He may have a point trying to discredit religion; but that should be stated clearly and addressed exclusively
One can neither prove or disprove something based on Faith. Therefore it is pointless trying to prove God does not exist.
The book is very informative, albeit with strong French bias.
For the interested reader it offers a wealth of background references.
Which is about its only merit.

Gergo: It is a short, well written book with its purpose deliberately defined and achieved in an enthusiastic and precise manner. This book had to be written.

Joseph J. Truncale: I ordered this book because I thought it sounded interesting, and since I am a seeker of facts and wisdom this book approached the topic of religion in a unique way. When I first began reading this book I did not like the writing style of the author; however, the material became so interesting that I wound up really liking this volume. In fact, I agree with almost all the author's conclusions on these topics. This well-written text is organized into four parts. They include the following:
Part of covers Atheology, which is a term I was not familiar with even though I had read numerous books in the past on atheism. Various topics are covered in this section and provides an overview of the author's hypothesis on Judeo-Christian epistemology. The second part explains Monotheisms. This section deals with the tyranny of afterlives, bonfires of the intelligence and seeking the opposite of the real. The third part focuses on Christianity. I enjoyed this section because it explains the influence of St. Paul on the historical development of believing in the Christian myths. The final part covers Theocracy. Many areas are explored in this section such as selective exploitation of the...

EJ in Mississauga: I was expecting a rational discourse on the subject, but instead found myself plodding through nothing more than a gigantic rant. One might disagree with someone else's beliefs or opinions, but there is no good reason to describe long-dead historical figures in demeaning terms just to boost one's own beliefs and opinions. A disappointing read.
