Reviews
'A collections of 'irreverant thoughts' from notable atheists. Cheats slightly by quoting sceptical characters from plays and novels, many of them by believers or writers whose relationship with religion is uncategorisably complex (Graham Greene, Emily Dickenson). There's rather a lot of Arthur C Clarke and Woody Allen. But then there would be.' Time Out (4 stars) 'This slim, attractively produced volume will amuse nonbelievers - and, ironically, cause them to spend hours reading about God and religion' The Boston Globe
