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".[1]
