The Atheist's Bible

The Atheist's Bible 
by Joan Konner, Andrew



A book that carries the title of "The Atheist's Bible" sounded interesting. Based on the title alone, I was expecting an essay on atheism. But it is not - it is nothing more than a series of quotes, organised into ‘books’ along the lines of the Bible. Literally nothing but quotes, with no commentary on the quotes themselves and no information on the people (or fictional characters) that uttered or wrote the words or into the context in which these quotes where uttered. So it is certainly not essential reading, unless you have a good memory and frequently get into arguments with Jehovah's Witnesses. That being said, the quotes are quite extensive and I enjoyed this light read
