Why I Am Not a Christian is considered one of the most blasphemous philosophical documents ever written, and at a time when we have faith schools and wars over religious beliefs, its message today couldn't be more relevant. If religion provides comfortable responses to the questions that have always beset humankind - why are we here, what is the point of being alive, how ought we to behave - then Russell snatches that comfort away, leaving us instead with other, more troublesome alternatives: responsibility, autonomy, self-awareness. If it were possible to sum up this book in a sentence, then it would be that the time to live is now, the place to live is here, and the way to be happy is to ensure others are happy. And what it all boils down to, is that disbelief is but a matter of believing. Ranked alongside Voltaire's Candide, Tom Paine's Age of Reason, Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ, and Monty Python's The Life of Brian, Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian has made some odd bedfellows over the years. While its tone is playful and frivolous, it poses tough questions over the nature of religion and belief.

读后感
一直很喜欢罗素这个小老头。风趣幽默，一针见血。选择信仰宗教也许是一件更轻松的事情，但这个可爱又倔强的小老头就是要坚持自己的理性。这本书是和C.S. 路易斯的《返璞归真》对照读的，两本书同样讲到了神性，宗教的精神体验，以及宗教的作用和地位。相比起“传教士”的心灵鸡...

评分以前看过罗素的《幸福之路》，觉得写得非常好，很受启发。现在这本书是罗素关于宗教及相关问题的一个论文集，不是完整体系的一本书。有若干篇觉得还是很好，不过也有几篇感觉写得深奥了点，是我现在的认知水平所不能完全领会的--这当然并不算是一件出奇的事情。罗素本身是哲学...
评分宗教源于一种恐惧，即死后的虚空与未知的茫然。这种心理是合理的。联想到圣经中的经文，在爱中没有恐惧，也就从侧面解释了这个宗教缘起的可能性。但不能就此认为只是人作为个体存在的一种孤独与恐怖的情感，我总相信还有什么先验的东西在支撑着我们去信仰。这个先验意识的存在...
评分罗素1957年写得这本书，理智有余，关怀不足吧。宗教的存在恐怕不是现有科学工具可以全面分析的。 不过西方哲学、科学推翻一切，重头质疑的精神是我们所没有的。 护短、保守的维护一切“传统”趋向的反面，恰恰是文明的自卑和桎梏。 一本好的思想工具书，一家之言，可以不接受它...

评分Thought - provoking. Reason is magical
评分We ought to stand up and look the world frankly in the face. The world needs a fearless outlook and a free intelligence. It needs hope for the future, not looking back all the time toward a past that is dead.
