This is a book that attempts to show an atheist's perspective on religions and social issues. Since believers rarely paint atheists in a favorable light, it is hoped the reader will gain insights into modern atheism, and make up their own minds. Just as it would be foolish to only take an atheist's view on religious matters, it would be equally unfair to only listen to the believer's presentation of atheism. Being able to hear both sides of an issue is essential for reasonable understanding. In this book I address a wide variety of topics and scenarios, and present my views on them, and in particular offer critiques on religious belief. It seems to me, many of the issues threatening our freedoms and quality of life derive from very poor critical thinking skills, unquestioning acceptance of religious beliefs and sacred cows, religious or not. Some essays are personal, most are not; all hope the reader will be open minded and willing to think critically. While not an academic textbook, if the reader is really interested in learning about atheism, and on why atheists think religions are deeply flawed and dangerous, or if they would like to test their beliefs against the yardsticks I offer, then I think they will find the material interesting, and hopefully, thought provoking.
