Non-Fiction Religion
This tightly argued, hugely controversial work convincingly
demonstrates how the world's three major monotheistic
religions-Christianity, Judaism, and Islam-have attempted to
suppress knowledge, science, pleasure, and desire, often
condemning nonbelievers to death. If Nietzsche proclaimed
the "Death of God," Onfray starts from the premise that not
only is God still very much alive, but increasingly
controlled by fundamentalists who pose a danger to the human
race. Documenting the ravages from religious intolerance
over the centuries, the author makes a strong case against
the three religions for demanding faith, belief, obedience
and submission, and for extolling the "next life" at the
expense of the here and now. Not since Nietzsche has a work
so groundbreaking and explosive appeared to question the
role of the world's dominant religions.
