Line 1: − '''''Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and its Fashionable Enemies''''' (Yale University Press, 2009) is a work by the [[theologian]] and [[philosopher]] [[David Bentley Hart]] which challenges the denunciation of religion by [[atheistic]] authors such as [[Richard Dawkins]], [[Christopher Hitchens]] and [[Sam Harris]]. In it, Hart argues that their polemics are based on "facile simplifications of history" and "outright historical ignorance", misrepresenting the [[Christian]] past.+ − − Hart's thesis is that Christianity transformed the ancient world by: − * bringing liberation from [[fatalism]] − * conferring [[dignity]] on humans − * making [[charity]] the greatest of the [[virtue]]s − − The so-called [[Age of Reason]] was, he argues, "the beginning of the eclipse of reason’s authority as a cultural value". Hart concludes by warning of the effcts on our culture of a continued decline of Christian spiritual and moral values. − − ''Atheist Delusions'' was published on 21 April 2009. − == See also == − *[[Resources for leaving atheism and becoming a Christian]] − ==Further Information== − http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=9780300111903 − − [[Category:Atheism]]
