关于此电子书

A wise and witty collection of quips, quotes, and musings from the world’s greatest geniuses and jokers, proving that “all thinking men are atheists” (Ernest Hemingway)

From Sophocles to Homer Simpson, The Atheist’s Bible celebrates the long and rich tradition of rejecting organized religion. Included here are insights and observations from scientists, writers, philosophers, and comedians throughout history who have questioned the wisdom (and sanity) of pious believers.

Far from a cynical polemic, this “bible” shares the same joy, love of beauty, and human wonder that religious books of quotations provide, but with a healthy dose of independent thought and without dogma.
