Description

Atheism is one of the most significant movements in modern European culture. Over the past two hundred years, it seemed to be a step away from eradicating religion as an outdated and dangerous superstition. However, recently, a rise in religious piety has been observed worldwide.

As a former atheist who is now one of the most well-known scholars in the field of Christianity, McGrath chronicles the history of atheism, from its emergence in 18th-century Europe to its golden age in the first half of the 20th century. Combining thoughtful and rigorous historical analysis with sharp presentations of figures such as Sigmund Freud and Richard Dawkins, the author exposes the flaws at the heart of atheism.

The twilight of atheism will disturb both believers and non-believers. It is a dynamic refutation of the philosophy that exerted a tremendous influence on Western History, simultaneously raising many questions about the future of both religion and disbelief in our society.

    Right-wing Christians do not have enough children and thus do not prevent the increase of Muslims.

    Muslims physically and psychologically punish apostasy. There is evidence in the European Court of Human Rights.

    A Muslim, based on data (Google: Turkish atheists, Iranian atheists), is more likely to become an atheist than a cosmological adherent of another Abrahamic religion (negligible change).

    The atheist former Muslim will save the European philosophical spirit, not the Christian and the atheist from atheist parents who were not born due to low fertility rates.

    cosmological personocracy = the belief that personality is a causal cosmogonic and panoptic, without systematic proof

    theism = the belief that the infinite is a person, without systematic proof

    _________

    God's love is hatred for the physical and the metalogical, in English metalogic.

    The love you have for the opinion of cosmological personocracy.

    Cosmological personocracy is the belief that the concept of personhood is causal, pre-cosmic, cosmogonic, and panoptic.

    You are a very bad person. You consider neuroscience and physics to be lies.

    Problems with the theory of the soul: 1. nothing allows for attribution (attribution of specific individuality), 2. nothing records memories, 3. nothing distinguishes memories (study: information theory, you can find it in French as well, it is a field of study), 4. nothing connects memories.

    If the soul is not based on nothingness, then it consists of matter, even of different physics.

    The common denominator of the brain and the soul is the "center of perception, processing, and assimilation of emotions and sentience".

    Neuroscience provides clear and proven answers.

    Religion is the evil of considering oneself right, not because you have proven something, but because you are inherently superior to others, so you do not need to systematically prove anything.

    Animals and right-wing individuals do not accept the finality of death.

    The leftists want us to be poor.

    Be rational, politically measured, and centrist.

    The book is aggressive towards the group of atheists, who do not have many children anyway.

    It does not mention the westernization of the planet, which leads to atheism, but it will be completed in millennia. There will always be many opinions based on the nature of probabilities.
