5 stars (an awesome intro to atheism) - I was in need of something new to read, especially on atheism, and after I read the reviews for "Atheist Universe," I bougut it. I'm interested in religous questions, so I read a ton of religous books. I also read books on atheism because something inside me is suspicous of religion.

There are several non-Dogmatic religions that work towards the understanding of God and Reason through scientific reasoning on one pillar and archetypal symbolism in the mind's most abstract to bridge a gap to understanding that God resides Within. The oddity most people debate on the existence of God is not whether GOD is infinitely manifested, on all cosmic planes, but whether...
