Irreligiosophy means “the wisdom of irreligion” — it is about questioning dogmas handed down uncritically to us and researching into the history, practice, and theology of various religions. It’s about scrutinizing religious claims with a skeptical eye and placing them in historical perspective. But ultimately, Irreligiosophy 2.0 is really about arming atheists to wage the culture war with arguments and reason. We focus on Christianity because that is the religion that we are most confronted by in our daily lives, but we see all religion and all irrationality as threats to the continued advancement of knowledge, progress, and social justice.

Customer Reviews
Treats!
A new release of Irreligiosophy is a rare and wonderful thing. This one was my favourite Birthday present (it was a week early, but that's the sort of generousity and foresight you can expect from these guys ;) ).
Hopefully there'll be more in the new year.
:D
Where have you been you pair of dicks?
Love it
These guys need to step up on the production schedule. But when they do bother to churn one out, they're funny and oddly wise- well, one of them is. Great fun. And, back in the day, educational.
