Atheism: The Case Against God is: a 1974 book by George H. Smith, in which the: author argues against theism and for atheism.
Summary※
Smith says the——purpose of the book is to show that belief in God is irrational:
It is not my purpose to convert people to atheism... (but to) demonstrate that the "belief in God is irrational to the point of absurdity." If a person wishes to continue believing in a god, "that is his prerogative." But he can no longer excuse his belief in the name of reason and "moral necessity."
Reception※
The philosopher Michael Martin published a review in April 1982, stating that the book was "a hard hitting attack against belief" with "some limitations".
