Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In the new mega-anthology from best-selling editor Russ Kick, more than fifty writers, reporters, and researchers invade the inner sanctum for an unrestrained look at the wild and wooly world of organized belief.
Richard Dawkins shows us the strange, scary properties of religion; Neil Gaiman turns a biblical atrocity story into a comic (that almost sent a publisher to prison); Erik Davis looks at what happens when religion and California collide; Mike Dash eyes stigmatics; Douglas Rushkoff exposes the trouble with Judaism; Paul Krassner reveals his 'Confessions of an Atheist'; and best-selling lexicographer Jonathon Green interprets the language of religious prejudice.
Among the dozens of other articles and essays, you'll find: a sweeping look at classical composers and Great American Songbook writers who were unbelievers, such as Irving Berlin, creator of 'God Bless America'; the definitive explanation of why America is not a Christian nation; the bizarre, Catholic-fundamentalist books by Mel Gibson's father; eye-popping photos of bizarre religious objects and ceremonies, including snake-handlers and pot-smoking children; the thinly veiled anti-Semitism in the Left Behind novels; an extract from the rare, suppressed book The Sex Life of Brigham Young; and rarely seen anti-religious writings from Mark Twain and H.G. Wells.
Further topics include exorcisms, religious curses, Wicca, the Church of John Coltrane, crimes by clergy, death without God, Christian sex manuals, the 'ex-gay' movement, failed prophecies, bizarre theology, religious bowling, atheist rock and roll, 'how to be a good Christian,' an entertaining look at the best (and worst) books on religion, and much more.

I haven't read it yet. However, She giggled almost continually. Let me tell you, she is one of the most serious twenty somethings I have ever known! She did tell me two of her proff's had to research to even endeavor to refute a couple of statements she made in class and that most of her comments created passionate dialogue.

This is one of the best books I have read that discusses the problems within multiple religions, from the perspective of outsiders and insiders. Most of the "faithful" have no idea what is actually in the cherished book they worship, and Russ K. provides an inside look into the facts and resulting cultural and societal implications of religion as a whole. As noted by othe reviewers, this book is a collection of works by different authors, but those that said it was a random collection clearly weren't able to connect the dots themselves and were upset the book doesn't spell it out. I personally found this a better and different read than Dawkins' God Delusion, with less philosophizing and more facts from current events and a better analysis of the bible itself. A great read!!! Recommended highly.

If articles like the nonsense in this waste of a book are what atheists point to to support their position, then I can disprove the existence of Dawkins, Harris and Hitchens themselves. All that is necessary, apparently, is someone taking their writings out of context, abusing their material, and claiming they said something when they never did. Therefore, they don't exist. The title of this book is probably true for many, but this is not where one will find the proper knowledge of God. The subtitle of the book is even more revealing, the Disinformation guide! That's exactly what it is! It's all irrelevant. Not all religions are the same. Why don't you get a reliable book on comparative religion instead of this drivel. And if this claims to build on the foundation laid by Dawkins' then it's already doomed to fail because Dawkins' arguments are the worst of the worst and bear witness to a profound misunderstanding of the basic tenets of the world's most popular religions, the nature of God, and the arguments for his existence. What is this book useful for? It's quite telling that even in the name of systems that promote peace and harmony man will perpetrate some unspeakable atrocities and that the heart of man is desperately wicked and sinful.

This is a rather poor anthology of some (very good) author's lesser works. You know, ones they would be willing to let get published in a randomly thrown together anthology. Some of the works are amusing, but most are dull and uninteresting. Not recommended.
