"Reasoned, cool and concise--a good-natured primer for infidels." --Kirkus Reviews "[Paulos] is as sure-footed as a tiger as he prowls through the theocratic landscape, pouncing on sloppy thinking. To a large extent he succeeds in demolishing the arguments of believers." --Phillip Manning, The News & Observer (Raleigh) "[Paulos] knocks the props from under the classic arguments for the existence of God . . . The book is written with a charming skepticism that is not off-putting or arrogant." --Chuck Warnock, Amicus Dei blog "Few of the recent books on atheism have been worth reading just for wit and style, but this is one of them: Paulos is truly funny." --Publishers Weekly "Irreligion will, I'm confident, take a distinguished place in what one might call the canonical literature of the New Atheism." --Norman Levitt, eSkeptic
