Why I'm Not a Christian

null
Book •
Bertrand Russell's "Why I Am Not a Christian" is a collection of essays and lectures expressing his philosophical and ethical reasons for rejecting Christianity.

Russell, a prominent 20th-century philosopher, argues against the existence of God and critiques various aspects of Christian theology and morality.

The book is known for its clear and concise arguments, its intellectual rigor, and its influence on secular thought.

Russell's work has been both praised and criticized for its challenging perspective on religion and its impact on the development of secular humanism.

It remains a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the relationship between reason, faith, and morality.
