Thank you, Prometheus, for providing this book for review consideration in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Mr. Book just finished Disbelief: The Origins Of Atheism In A Religious Species, by Will M. Gervais.

I was interested in this book after listening to the author on Seth Andrews’s Thinking Atheist podcast. Unfortunately, the author did a much better job on the podcast than he did in the book. This book was often difficult to follow and makes me think it was intended just for an academic audience.

There are so much good books on this topic and I was expecting another one. I am also a very big fan of Prometheus publishers. I have a lot of books published by them and almost all of them were excellent. I am always excited to see that a book on atheism was from that publisher. So I feel bad about the fact that the first book that I am reviewing from them for this site has to be the very rare exception.

I give this book a C. Goodreads requires grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, a C equates to 2 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).
