This book is a collection of atheistic essays written by a Catholic priest during his priesthood and published after his death. The doubt, calumny and resentment against religions depict a vivid character of a goody-goody piety in appearance and a disgruntled blasphemer at heart. A mind in extreme is a troubled mind; a priest blasting all religions is a troubled soul. Beside the controversy of the book, the author's philosophical gift is a clear merit, which is probably why the book had included extensive comments from famous philosopher Voltaire. Thus, the book may be disturbing to read as a pure religious book, but it may be intriguing to read as a pure philosophical book.
