Everything You Know About God Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Religion
This massive book systematically reveals the distortions, myths, and utter weirdness that have been shoved down our throats by organized religions of all stripes, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, new religions, and others who want to keep their lucrative franchises intact. Master anthologist RUSS KICK has assembled an unprecedented arsenal of writers, reporters, and researchers to invade the inner sanctum for an unrestrained look at the wild and wooly world of organized belief: Richard Dawkins shows us the strange, scary properties of religion; Neil Gaiman turns a biblical atrocity story into a comic (that almost sent a publisher to prison); Douglas Rushkoff tells us why traditional Judaism is facing a self-imposed death sentence; Erik Davis looks at what happens when religion and California collide; H.G. Wells has Jesus of Nazareth discuss his failure; Greta Christina gives us comforting thoughts about death that have nothing to do with God; Paul Krassner reveals his “Confessions of an Atheist”; Found Magazine compiles its greatest religious hits; Nasrin Alavi looks at Iranian blogs for the possibility of an Islamic Reformation; and much more!
