Book Reviews:
How could anyone outdo the feat of writing Beyond the Crusades? Only its author could do that, as we see in Michael Paulkovich's Mostly Harmful: 1001 Things Everyone Should Know about Religion. This is a wonderfully readable reference book needed by everyone trying to lead a life of reason. As an atheist activist for over sixty years now, I thought I had seen, read, and heard it all. It was sobering to see how much I still needed to know. The witty, punning style of the book is the perfect vehicle with which to refute the sanctified—indeed, sanctimonious—claims of Christianity and the other religions that now threaten the survival of the human species. The best refutation of a flat-earther's argument has always been a chuckling "You've gotta be kidding!" The method works even better against theologies.
"Michael Paulkovich's new book, Mostly Harmful, with its vibrant melding of intellectual rigor and pungent, satirical humor, is the best possible antidote to the dogmatism, obscurantism, and plain foolishness of most religious creeds. With this book, along with his previous works, Paulkovich deserves to be placed with Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris as a modern titan of atheism."--S. T. Joshi, The Unbelievers: The Evolution of Modern Atheism
