About
The theories of prominent new age writers such as Rhonda Byrne, Deepak Chopra, Dinesh D'Souza, and Robert Pirsig are debunked in this endeavor to restore the public's critical eye toward philosophical debate. Each chapter tackles a different contemporary spiritual author, examines his or her most familiar arguments, and exposes the irrationalities and falsities behind them from a rational, scientific viewpoint. From belief in God to New Age narcissism, the topics in Spiritual Snake Oil uncover the common fallacies in the assertions and advice given by today's most popular new age figures.

"Sure to outrage religious readers, and not just fundamentalists, this chatty, totally irreverent title, written under a pseudonym, speaks to teen rebels of all faiths who question religious indoctrination. The book is really an expansion of a single statement: "God doesn't exist." Readers can dip in wherever they like to find support for their arguments against the nonbelievers or to find their own doubts reflected."

"Ignore the subtitle that says this book is for young people. It's for everyone! All of the good arguments for atheism are here, concise, witty, factual and devastating. . . . We've read a library full of atheist books, and this one rates with the best."
