Summary: A logical toure de force
Review: People of faith will feel great discomfort with this book but will be unable to defeat it's logic and hence, its conclusions. This book forces one to think about one's most dearly held views of God. It was excellent.

Summary:
A pinnacle of rational thought
Review: Reading this book is like walking up the steps of a pyramid out of the darkness of superstition and into the clear light of Reason. Smith builds his case point by point, chapter by chapter, culminating in an argument that one may only refute by making statements that are incoherent like, "God is existence" (whatever that means). This book doesn't weigh down the reader with heavy philosophic terminology; instead, in clear, precise and eminently readable phrasing, Smith gets to the point without bashing or insulting theism. In view that it is not overly-technical, this is a great book for the budding skeptic or atheist, but even more than that, it makes the Case Against God conversational, which is an essential tool for debators and students of theology both.

Summary: Superb, clearly written
Review: Smith focuses on the supremacy of reason, and the utter idiocy of using "faith" to arrive at knowledge. A triumph of clear thinking. His chapter "The Sins of Christianity" is especially good. Check out his important collection of essays "Atheism, Ayn Rand, and Other Heresies."

Summary: Overall, Excellent!!!
Review: Very Good!! But, I found that some of the points were innacurate!! It focused on some point in great depth and left some out!! But the points were very good! and informative!

Summary: Excellent non-technical refutation of Christian claims
Review: The author of this book makes the case that atheism doesn't need to be proven; only that theism, and in particular, belief in the Christian God, simply cannot be deemed acceptable by any reasonable person. The books layout and flow are excellent, with plenty of chapters leading into other larger realms of philosophical inquiry and debate. Certainly an excellent book to give any "believing" relatives or friends for Christmas.

Summary: a good job,but displays some ignorance
Review: Smith does a good job in refuting the dualistic god. But this is not what is meant by God. God is existance. God is another name for reality. How can any atheist refute that? All religions believe in this God. I wish authors such as smith got their theology straight.
Rating:
Summary: An effective tool for all rationalists
Review: This book is recommended to all believers and non-believers in God. I always thought that any belief worth having must survive reasonable doubt. Smith demonstrates that the God of Christianity is not only unknowable, but his very nature is impossible. Smith then goes on to demolish the idea of faith as a means of reaching truth, defends reason as the fundamental requirement and exposes the major flaws in the basic theistic arguments.
I doubt that there is any escape from his logical arguments, nothing can save the Christian God now. Any attack on the atheistic case is an attack on reason and sanity.

Review: _Atheism: The Case Against God_ is one of the most popular books on atheism ever produced, no doubt because of its non-technical style. If you want a thorough case against theism, go with J.L. Mackie or Michael Martin instead, but if you are after a readable starting point for studying atheism, Smith's book is well worth the price
Rating:
Summary: Excellent challenge to Christianity.
Review: When I read this book I wasn't sure whether the Christian God existed - but this book makes it quite clear - it is *impossible* for God to exist. Be warned - if you read this book, you will lose your faith in God. There is just no stopping the powerful arguments of George H. Smith. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has a brain and can think

Summary: Salvation from Falsehood
Review: _Atheism: The Case Against God_ by George H. Smith is the most clear, cogent, and precise book I have ever read on the subject of atheism. It is argued with a depth and rigor that cannot be matched. Upon reading this book just once, I was convinced that my long-time faith in Christianity was absurd. I was introduced not to a reality, but the reality. Doug Murphey (dmurphey@vt.edu)
