Everything You Know About God is Wrong has contributions from Richard Dawkins, Neil Gaiman, Douglas Rushkoff, Erik Davis, Michael Parenti, Greta Christina, Paul Krassner, Dianna Narciso, HG Wells and 31 others… This massive book systematically reveals the distortions, myths, and utter weirdness that have been shoved down our throats by organized religions of all stripes, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, new religions, and others who want to keep their lucrative franchises intact. Russ Kick has assembled an unprecedented arsenal of writers, reporters, and researchers to invade the inner sanctum for an unrestrained look at the wild and wooly world of organized belief. Among the revelations inside:
Plus, this book includes rare, eye-popping photos of bizarre religious objects, ceremonies, and sites, including snake-handlers, pot-smoking children, explicit Hindu statues, and the woman giving birth on Christianity’s highest altar.
As if that weren’t enough, this book also delves into:
• the definitive explanation of why America is not a Christian nation
• the thinly veiled anti-Semitism in the Left Behind novels
• how the “big three” religions curse their enemies
• the Catholic Church’s “gulags for women”
• the “Mechanical Messiah” built in the nineteenth century
• the Sixth Dalai Lama’s erotic poetry
Dispensing with theory and dogma, Everything You Know About God Is Wrong goes where wise men have often feared to tread for fear of lightning bolts, stoning, or the tortures of the Inquisition. One thing’s for sure: after reading this book you’ll never look at religion in the same way again.
