Über Atheismus

Of course, one can believe what one wants. But do we believe what we want? Most of the time, it is not a question of individual choice, but of the environment, i.e. family, group, class and society. But why is the world so obsessed with faith, with religion, with spirituality? Where does this need come from? Why does the transcendent defy the scientific age? Nicola Condoleo sifts through and reflects on the fragments of religious deconstruction in this philosophical temptation against all things theistic. His collection of trenchant, pointed lines of thought explores godlessness: A critique of faith, religions of all kinds, astrology, esotericism, his essayistic investigation shows that it is high time to say goodbye to the paternalism of myths - theoretically as well as practically. He offers no philosophical salvation. But what remains after the expulsion of the angels from the pinhead is nothing less than - freedom.
