Petros Tatsopoulos perceives all religions as institutionalized conspiracy theories. "Imagine," he writes, "a society believing that humanity is controlled by alien lizards - a conspiracy theory very much in vogue these days in the United States - and anyone who does not share this common belief is sent straight to the madhouse. Before you rush to scoff at this absurdity, consider that the overwhelming majority of religions, both polytheistic and monotheistic, are neither superior in plausibility nor lacking in monstrosities." In a world where "credentials of absurdity" are now necessary to participate in any public discussion of "common sense," an audacious and unorthodox approach is attempted here to the "last medieval remnant": The multifaceted infiltration of religion into modern society. Are we facing the death throes of obscurantism or its triumphant return after rational retreat? Sometimes with vitriolic humor and sometimes with a blasphemous disposition, consistently against the political correctness of the day, the author provides unpredictable answers to uncomfortable questions. As he wryly notes himself: "I rely on the good faith of the reader and, if you consider the irony of the matter, it is probably the only faith I rely on."
