I’m usually extremely reluctant to read books on atheism because many are simply written for atheists who love being told they’re correct. As an atheist, the question I’m regularly asking is, “Can science and religion coexist?”, and that’s why I grabbed this book from Coyne. Fortunately, Coyne’s book was fantastic and not just written in the typical “theists are wrong” sort of way. I really enjoyed it and learned a ton along the way.

I will say that this book took me a while to read because for me, personally, the first half was a bit boring. That’s nothing the author did, either. It just covered topics that bore me to tears like evolutionary biology, but it had parts that definitely piqued my interest. As the book went on, I got hooked and started to binge it because there were much more discussions about the mismatch of religion and science.
