"There are many great books about finding God. But there are far fewer books, great or otherwise, about finding and then losing God. So 'Losing My Religion,' by William Lobdell, a former religion writer for The Los Angeles Times, feels powerfully fresh ... While Lobdell never entirely rejects belief in the supernatural, his humane, even-tempered book does more to advance the cause of irreligion than the bilious atheist tracts by Christopher Hitchens and others that have become so common. And Lobdell’s self-deprecating memoir is far more fun to read ...
From Christopher Hitchens, author of “God Is Not Great“:
“William Lobdell really and truly wanted to believe. When he came to realize that wanting and believing are two sides of the same coin, he decided to take the risk of basing morality on the modest of human reason and solidarity instead of on the self-defeating arrogance of faith."
