The counters to the arguments for god's existence are good, and some telling criticisms are made of some of the things done in the name of Christ (remember, many of the christians concerned were sincere), but such things are really not the issue. We already know that those arguments are problematic (to put it gently) and that all sorts of religiously inspired actions have been rotten. Yes, I was disappointed by Bertie.
