Reviews
"Former pastor Dan Barker's eloquent and subtle antidote to Mere Christianity shows us by example how a very good person can get along fine without religion, inspiring others, accomplishing great works, and having a lot of fun in the bargain." -- Daniel C Dennett, University Professor and Austin B Fletcher Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University
"Dan Barker's Mere Morality is a potent riposte to C S Lewis' Mere Christianity, a book much beloved by Christian apologists. Barker exposes the myriad of biblical practices that could be deemed immoral today, especially because so much of the Bible was written within a master-slave view of the world. Mere Morality offers a real-world view of morality grounded in behavioural biology, reason, and law." -- Hector Avalos, author of Fighting Words: The Origins of Religious Violence
