Rent God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

It seems to me that the author actually directed this book toward the religious in hopes that they might take from it a realization that their path in life is a farce. Quite sure from past experience that this is not going to be the case, it is quite likely a book that will be far more of interest to the argumentative atheist which I am. Covering a broad spectrum of religions, belief structures, origins, similarities, and contradictions, the author did a excellent job of showing the ridiculous tendencies of various religions. Focus is primarily on various sects of Christianity and Islam but there are numerous mentions of some of the other prominent players in the game such as Mormons, Jews, Hindus, etc. I cannot contemplate any way a reasonable person could argue with most of the points made in the book. The writer is knowledgeable, clear, and concise, getting to the point and explaining it clearly. If you have any interest in the constant debate over the usefulness of religion or have questions about your belief, I highly recommend this book.
