Dear Adam: Discussions with a budding atheist
Published December 1, 2011

Dogma: It’s not just for religion anymore …

There is no organization or semblance of men that is not due for a bit of criticism.  It is the atheist’s turn.

In engaging and easy-to-read prose, Jeffrey J. Hardy re-opens the books to expose the
unsubstantiated rumors, opinions, and outright fabrications that have become the foundational dogma of neo-atheistic thought … and rattles the ignorance and biases of a few believers as well.

Topics addressed include:

  • The “identity” of atheism
  • The “Religion as Evil Hypothesis”
  • The real reason for The Crusades
  • The Curse of Constantine and The Inquisitions
  • Is religion really responsible for more wars?
  • Slavery and Scripture
  • The Theory of Evolution and faith
  • Is God amoral?
  • The Problem of Evil

Ideal for atheists and believers alike, Hardy carves these often heavy and unapproachable topics into bite-sized chunks to walk the reader through an overview of the facts and figures, but delivers plenty of notes and references for those who want to begin a more extensive journey of discovery across a rich historical landscape covering thousands of years.

Ultimately, this book  brings us closer to our own collective history of reason, faith, science, and philosophy by introducing us to the people who have been pursuing the truth since the dawn of recorded time.

  1. Christopher Hitchens, RIP
    Christopher Hitchens, famous atheist and erudite author, succumbed to esophageal cancer. His mighty intellect and linguistic skill entertained thousands of avid readers of his books and Vanity Fair columns. His acerbic attacks on religion and faith frustrated millions of the faithful. I count myself among the faithful, but also among those who appreciated his intelligence and willingness to engage.

    If Mr. Hitchens was right his personality and intellect are now gone—disappeared into the ether as he breathed his last—and cares not that we remember him or we wish him peace. If I am right and there is more to human existence than the simple matter that comprises our flesh, then he now understands life in new and poignant ways. In that case, I look forward to meeting up with him, hopefully many years from now in the kingdom of heaven, and saying, “We told you so” with a wry smile.

    Believer or not, we can agree that a mighty soldier of ideas has left the field after a prolonged battled with his failing flesh. He carries the respect of soldiers from both sides with him as the battles rage on.
