Why I Am Not a Christian by Bertrand Russell
And Other Essays on Religion and Related Subjects
"Why I Am Not a Christian" is a collection of essays that critique and challenge the concepts and institutions of religion, specifically Christianity. The author, a renowned philosopher, uses logic and reason to question the existence of God, the morality of religion, and the influence of the church, arguing that religion suppresses individual thought and progress. The book also explores alternative philosophies such as socialism and humanism, advocating for a moral code based on compassion and respect for others rather than religious doctrine.
