Being a person questioning religion, but being of a religious bent, I dislike findamentalist athiests, much the same as I dislike fundamentalst anything. This book discusses how by being so agressive many athiests are actually sending people back to religion. I found it interesting in light of several discussions I've seen recently about some very prominent athiests and their attitude to women, which doesn't differ much from their religious counterparts. It's not a neutral book, the author is christian, but he does mention buddhist as a religion without a central god, and it is true, many of the polemics are about abrahamic religions from athiests.

It's worth reading for a different voice
