I’ve been an atheist since I was old enough to take a view on the subject. (Many atheists would argue that we’re all atheists at birth, but that’s not a subject for a book review). I did have to take Religious Studies at school but have entirely forgotten almost everything I learned!
Indeed, for me, there are a number of new debates to be had as a result of reading this book. But this is a book review and not ''The World According to Susmita'', so I’ll refrain from having those debates here and simply say that this book will be of great interest to believers and non-believers alike. It could comfortably command a place on a Philosophy course for that reason alone and it is a really useful book for atheists who might need to refresh their knowledge on the major subject of belief.
If this book appeals then we can also recommend [[Global Modernity and Other Essays by Tom Rubens]] and [[The Forbidden Tree: History or Folklore? by Jabulani Midzi]].
