description: What are the arguments for and against religion and religious belief--all of them--right across the range of reasons and motives that people have for being religious and do they stand up to scrutiny? Can there be a clear full statement of these arguments that once and for all will show what is at stake in this debate? Equally important: what is the alternative to religion as a view of the world and a foundation for morality? Is there a worldview and a code of life for thoughtful people--those who wish to live with intellectual integrity based on reason evidence and a desire to do and be good--that does not interfere with people's right to their own beliefs and freedom of expression?In The Case Against Religion Anthony Grayling offers a definitive examination of these questions and an in-depth exploration of the humanist outlook that recommends itself as the ethics of the genuinely reflective person.
