In this age of religious extremism where faith dominates the political stage, questioning religious dogma has become taboo. The Heathen’s Guide takes up this challenge, tracing each faith from its inception to modern day and exposing the lust, greed, treachery, murder, and sheer stupidity that have contributed to the history of the world’s religions.
Whether you agree or disagree with religions, you’ll come away from this book with a solid understanding of the history and personalities of each of the major faiths, and more than a few laughs along the way.

"The serious side examines the precepts and contentions of various religions in the context of what history actually reveals. The other is to approach it all with biting satire and flat out humor." ~Blogcritics.org

"Hopper represents the most lethal of organized religions many opponents: a curious, well-educated individual with a sharp wit." ~Queen’s University Journal Review
