On a personal note, I have read about a third of the book and already I am stunned by some of the revelation and insight Blanchard offers. He completely rips atheism wide open and exposes it as more than just a non-belief in God.
I highly recommend this book. Recently I met the author and was impressed by him. Not a high browed untouchable, as some intellectuals are, but a very decent and normal human being.

- Exposes the fallacies of determinism, existentialism and secular humanism.
- Highlights the fundamental flaws in nine world religions and fourteen major cults.
