The God Argument

The Case Against Religion and for Humanism

By: A. C. Grayling

Narrated by: William Roberts

What are the arguments for and against religion and religious belief - all of them - right across the range of reasons and motives that people have for being religious, and do they stand up to scrutiny? Can there be a clear, full statement of these arguments that once and for all will show what is at stake in this debate? Equally important: what is the alternative to religion as a view of the world and a foundation for morality? Is there a worldview and a code of life for thoughtful people - those who wish to live with intellectual integrity, based on reason, evidence, and a desire to do and be good - that does not interfere with people's right to their own beliefs and freedom of expression? In The Case Against Religion, Anthony Grayling offers a definitive examination of these questions, and an in-depth exploration of the humanist outlook that recommends itself as the ethics of the genuinely reflective person.

Couldn’t Put It Better Myself.

Concise, clear, reasoned explanation of the good of humanism based in our best understanding of reality. Highest recommendation.

Religion and It's Flaws

Exposing the so called contradictions (flaws) of religion, A. C. Grayling argues for the superiority of humanism, whose central notions, he believes, can establish an ethics system based in human will, potentiality and contingencies. An ethics system based on religion's notions is inferior, because it ignores human potentialities and produces violence. The book is well written. The author expresses his ideas in a simple and understandable language. The matter is fascinating and controversial. One wonders if the author succeeded in making his case.

Cogently stated arguments for Humanism

Admirably written and expertly narrated, The God Argument makes for very good listening. As a case for Humanism and against belief in gods, it excels.

Comprehensive and engaging read

I enjoyed this book very much. So much I'm on my third re-read! Absolutely through and in my opinion a must read for free thinkers.

Thought Provoking

Thought Provoking. As I learn these arguments i become hesitant in using them with religious individuals. Read with an open mind and curiosity.
