  Atheism
Explained explores the claims made both for and against the existence of God. On the pro side: that the wonders of the
world can only be explained by an intelligent creator; that the universe had to start somewhere; telepathy, out-of-body
experiences, and other paranormal phenomena demonstrate the existence of a spirit world; and that those who experience
God directly provide evidence as real as any physical finding. After disputing these arguments through calm, careful
criticism, author David Ramsay Steele presents the reasons why God cannot exist: monstrous, appalling evils; the
impossibility of omniscience; and the senseless concept that God is a thinking mind without a brain. He also explores
controversial topics such as Intelligent Design, the power of prayer, religion without God, and whether a belief in God
makes people happier and healthier. Steele's rational, easy-to-understand prose helps readers form their own conclusions
about this eternally thorny topic.

  One really cannot judge
this book by its cover. 5 February 2008
  By Saganite - 
  This book is a marketing nightmare. The
title, the subtitle, and the cover art are all uninspired. But this is one of the best books outlining a case for
atheism that I've read. It is clear, user-friendly, and logical. The logical evidence against classical theism is
treated in a comprehensive presentation that does not feel labored, and manages to dodge some of the excesses of books
by Dawkins and Hitchens. If I were told that a Christian friend were experiencing doubts about her faith and she was
asking for recommendations for three books explaining atheism as a rational, satisfying alternative, this book might
well be among the three. After years of having very few readable books on atheism, the last couple of years have
witnessed an explosion of fine, readable texts. Put "Atheism Explained" on the shelf next to "Irreligion," "The Little
Book of Atheist Spirituality," "Godless Philosophy," and other such books. The place for "God is Not Great" and "The God
Delusion" is important, because they have opened a window. I would argue that what they have opened that window for is
gentler, wiser books such as this one.
  
  One of the best contributions the book makes is in an appendix
about arguments NOT to use for atheism. Every atheist who feels compelled to convert the religious to atheism should
read it. I think reducing the toxic effects of fundamentalism is a noble, necessary aim. But sinking to the tactics that
fundamentalists use should play no part in our strategy to combat fanaticism. This appendix outlines "arguments" that
toe that line and cautions against their use. 
  
  The one atheist book everyone must read! 3 March
2008
  By Jeffrey A. Schaler - 
  Dozens of books for and against atheism are now coming out, and the
quality is very mixed on both sides of the debate. Among books of a general and popular nature, Steele's book is by far
the best pro-atheist statement.
  
  He covers all the arguments, and the most committed believer would have
to agree that he does so with complete fairness. His exposition is crystal clear: he makes the most complex issues easy
to understand. The book is so fair-minded and such an easy read that a beginning Christian theology student could read
it in a weekend, simply to get a quick outline of philosophy of religion. Steele is also quite critical of some ideas
commonly held by atheists: for example he refutes the claim that belief in God leads to atrocities.
  
 
Although the author is often witty and ironic, he is sympathetic and without malice. The reader feels that if Steele
could find a decent argument for the existence of God, he would gladly accept it, and he actually mentions one such
argument that might be developed in the future. Meanwhile, he destroys all the standard arguments quite convincingly.
The author is extremely polite, but without mercy when it comes to muddled thinking.
  
  Here are some of the
notable features of this book: the clearest discussion I have encountered of Darwinism in relation to Christianity; a
fresh and entertaining treatment of the claim that morality comes from God; the author's thorough knowledge of the Bible
and the Quran (he is as much at home with Aquinas as with Darwin); a devastating scrutiny of the historical reliability
of the New Testament; historical evidence showing that atheism has always been prevalent; an illuminating discussion of
the theory that we are born with a "God gene" that makes us thirst for a God; an original explanation of why most people
today say that they believe in God; and a persuasive analysis of the Problem of Evil, bringing up many relevant points
that are usually ignored.
  
  One thing you might not get from all I have said above is that the book really
says quite a lot that is controversial, even shocking. For instance, it claims that belief in God always withers on the
vine when exposed to modern capitalism (and that American attitudes to religion will now speedily become more like
European ones); it attacks the media theory that religion motivates suicide bombings; it debunks the popular view that
"you can't prove a negative" and also the common misconception that one side or another has "the burden of proof"; and
it concludes that both theism and atheism have little practical importance since they don't tell us how to live our
lives.
  
  Christians, Muslims, and Jews who read Atheism Explained will probably become atheists; atheists
who read it will have some of their comfortable preconceptions unexpectedly shaken up.
