Book Introduction Why I am not a Christian, and other essays on religion and related subjects by Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Russell is one of the most famous British philosophers of the twentieth century.

During these years, in addition to being directly confronted with World War II, he also realized the residual effects of World War I in Europe.
The Soviet October Revolution was another event that influenced his thinking. In his speeches, Russell often criticizes the capitalist system and the colonialism that originated from it. Put these alongside his outspoken critique of communism. He even tasted prison because of his anti-war activities. In this book, you will read a collection of Russell articles on religion and other topics related to religion. In this book, he criticizes the Christianity introduced by the church.

But the whole book is a collection of several articles, lectures, and debates compiled in 1957 by Professor Paul Edwards.

Why I Am Not a Christian is a collection of articles, debates, and lectures by Bertrand Russell, named after an article of the same name. Religion provides easy answers to the questions that have always plagued mankind. Why are we here? What is the starting point of life? How should we behave? But Bertrand Russell leaves us with more difficult alternatives: responsibility, autonomy, and self-awareness.
He tells us that this is the time to live, this is the place to live, and the way to be happy is to make sure that others are happy. Russell begins by defining ecclesiastical Christianity and explains why he does not believe in God and immortality and does not think that Christ was the best and wisest man. He considers some logical arguments for the existence of God, deals with matters concerning Christian theology, and finally supports Darwin’s theory. He also expresses doubts about the historical existence of Jesus and questions the religion-based ethics, which he sees as largely based on fear.
Whether the reader agrees with or rejects Bertrand Russell’s comments on Why I Am Not a Christian, this book is a powerful challenge to formulate concepts, masterfully articulate a philosophical position, and bring pure joy to study.
