First published in 1893, this book presents a critique of mainstream Christianity from a humanist perspective. The author argues that modern Christianity has lost touch with its roots in the teachings of Jesus Christ and has instead become a form of organized religion that promotes a kind of sanitized barbarism. The book is a provocative exploration of the intersection between religion and secular society, challenging readers to question their own beliefs and values.
