Intelligent Person's Guide to Religion Book

Haldane provided a short yet informative introduction to religious thought: Ranging from broad topics such as the relationship between science and religion, meaning and value or grand metanarratives to details about Vico and Aquinas. Surely, atheists can do little better than to read this book in order to get a grip on what it is that they are rejecting, and Theists might read the book in order to get some clarification as to why they are not atheists. The guide is of course just an introduction and not a complete account of every topic that is in any way related to religious thought and practice but it does an excellent job as an introduction because it is hard not to feel drawn into argument about many of the things Haldane touches upon.
