Alexander Nikonov, a convinced atheist and a well-known specialist in debunking various myths, analyzes the texts of the Holy Scriptures. With constant irony, as always logical and convincing, the author shows that the Old Testament is nothing more than a collection of legends of ancient cattle-breeding tribes, which absorbed the epics of more developed civilizations, that the Gospel is basically rehashes of the myths of ancient cultures and that the church, in its own way, In essence, it is a global commercial project. The book will undoubtedly “touch the religious feelings” of certain segments of the population. Nevertheless, it is useful for everyone to read it - believers, non-believers, and insecure ones. This book is not about faith. Faith is a personal, internal, intimate matter of every person. But religion and the church are completely different... For a wide range of readers capable of critical analysis.
