It used to be said that one should not talk of sex, religion or politics in polite company. So much the worse for polite company, I thought in my days of adolescent enjoyment of disputes for their own sake; and certainly there are subjects that a journalist should avoid if he wishes to avoid an angry response whatever he says about them. In my experience, which admittedly is limited, those subjects are modern art, chronic fatigue syndrome and religion: but of these, religion is the greatest. This vehemence has been provoked by the fact that, though not religious myself, I am no longer anti-religious as I was when it occurred to me as a child and then a teenager that God might not or did not exist.
Indeed, I can see many advantages, both personal and social, to a religious outlook. The usefulness of religious claims is not evidence of their truth, of course, though that usefulness probably depends upon a belief in their truth. Probably, but not certainly.

Gibbon tells us that in Rome, religious observance, highly syncretic in nature, was adhered to by people who did not accept the truth of the beliefs that supposedly underlay their observance. They continued with their observance because of the social value of religion: in other words, truth was less important to them than social coherence.
Before we denounce those Romans as hypocrites and liars, we should remember how often, for the sake of social ease and convenience, we say and do things that are neither true nor convenient to us personally. Show me a man who is sincere all the time, and I will show you an insufferable boor.

A young and cultivated Dutchman of my acquaintance, appalled by the thinness and superficiality of modern culture and its deliberate disconnection from the glories of the past of our civilisation, recently told me that he was going to convert to Catholicism. He was far from a believer but, rightly or wrongly, he saw the church as the only possible bastion against the tide of cultural barbarism that is engulfing most of Europe. He told me also that he played the music of Bach one of the supreme artistic achievements of our civilisation on the piano every day, and hoped to do so until he died; and this led me to suppose that he did not altogether exclude as a possibility the existence of God, for Bachs music, which he loved, was surely inspired in very large part by the belief in God, and indeed is inconceivable without that belief.
The connection between the music and belief in God was a psychological one rather than a logical one, but was a strong one nonetheless; and, as Pascal said, the heart hath its reasons which reason knows not of. This, after all, is true of most of us most of the time. And once my young Dutch acquaintance was open to the possibility of the existence of God, I suggested, it was also possible that the belief would come with the observance rather than the other way around.
If it did, I could see only advantages to him. It seems to me that a sense of a transcendent meaning or purpose to existence is a great comfort, and something that is sorely lacking for the great majority of young Europeans. This is not at all the same thing as wishing to live under a theocracy, in which conformity to the outward observances of belief are enforced.
I do not want to repeat my arguments here.

Instead, I ask the question why these books of Michel Onfray, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett have appeared all of a sudden, and sold so well, when with the exception, perhaps, of Daniel Dennetts book, which advances an evolutionary explanation of religion that put me in mind of Marxs explanation of it, except that it refers to biology where Marx refers to economics , they say little that is new.

I've rated the condition of this book Very Good Minus. It is solidly bound and the pages are very clean, however there are several cosmetic imperfections.
You can see the covers in the photographs provided. They are not soiled, but do have two small stains off the bottom edge of the front 1st photo.
Also, the gilt lettering on the spine is faded, although still quite legible. There is rubbing at the corners and the usual light creasing at the spine ends.
