The author analyzes belief in the Christian God and demonstrates how its defenses crumble with careful analysis. He points out that historically thousands of beliefs in deities have appeared, flourished, and faded away. Christianity, he claims, will be no exception. Fundamentalism is flourishing in the U.S., but history reveals that over time, man's intellect wins. Cases in point. Socrates had to drink poison because he would not recognize the Gods of the day. Galileo's victory over the Catholic Church. The demise of the Spanish Inquisition.
