Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the Arc.
This was a short book and to be honest it was not what I thought it was going to be based on its description. As a person who is not from US, I had a hard time getting into this book because it was mainly centered around US. The book does not talk about the scientific aspect and it focuses only on Christianity, which doesn't sit well with me. I didn't gain anything from reading this which is disappointing.

This is an interesting account of what it is like to be an agnostic, with a long list of quotes from the most quotable quote-sters, from Sophocles to Sagan. Pages of summation of natural disasters, evil dictators, mass shootings, and other abominable epsidoes from human history make for a quick and easy read. It was fun to see a few quotes from Bart Ehrman, as I've read his book on Heaven and Hell via NetGalley.
In all, this is a swift, easy read, but not the most enlightening, nor even very well reasoned, and not well organized..
