Publisher Description

The Necessity of Atheism is a critical review of organized religion from the perspective of a psychologist. The history of mankind is examined with consideration of the scientific evidence available at the time of its writing, and this history is compared with that of the biblical account. Furthermore the influence of religious beliefs on science and philosophy are investigated at length. This is a work that could have been published only in an era in which free thought was on the rise and contains many conclusions that are only now coming into acceptance in the modern era. It flies in the face of accepted doctrine and addresses the proper place of religious tradition in the modern world.

The full narration of the text is preceded by a summary that gives a brief biography of the author and background information for the work as well as an overview, a synopsis, and an analysis. Also included are an exploration of the criticisms, historical context, and social impact of the text.

This is a must-hear for those interested in religion from a historical or philosophical standpoint and for any interested in expanding their knowledge of religion and its impact on the human race.

MrHerriman ,

There seems to be a problem with this download

The work "The Necessity of Atheism" by David Marshall Brooks was published in 1933. There is a lot of good information in the book but it does suffer from some scientific inaccuracies and there is one negative comment on homosexuality that I would assume the author regretted in later years. My audio download of this book came in two parts and the 2nd part seems to be a repeat of the first part. The additional part by Israel Bouseman seemed to be partly cut out. If this can be fixed I would like to redownload it to listen to what he has to say. There is also a problem with some annoying chimes sound effects that occur between each chapter. In the meantime, while this is getting fixed, I would recommend listening to Bon Sens (Good Sense) by Baron D'Holbach narrated by Roger Melin. This is such a good narration and is available for free from LibroVox and iTunes.
