Why I Am Not a Christian

"Why I Am Not a Christian" by Bertrand Russell explores the reasons many people, including himself, find Christianity unconvincing. He questions the existence of an all-powerful, benevolent deity given the presence of suffering and evil in the world. Russell also critiques Christian doctrines, such as miracles and the authority of the church, arguing they lack sufficient evidence. His perspective emphasizes rational inquiry and scientific understanding over faith. Ultimately, the book reflects a thoughtful skepticism rooted in logical reasoning and a desire for honest, evidence-based beliefs, rather than condemning religion or believers.
