The Atheist Manifesto: The Case Against Christianity, Judaism and Islam is a tightly argued work that is sure to stir heated debate on the role of religion in Australian society. This ANU Public Lecture was delivered by Michel Onfray in French with a direct translation into English. Broad Topics: Arts and Social Sciences Sub-topics: Philosophy & Religion 
Prodigious French Philosopher Michel Onfray is the author of over 30 books. His controversial work, The Atheist Manifesto , argues that the world’s three major monotheistic religions – Christianity, Judaism, and Islam – have attempted to suppress knowledge, science, pleasure and desire condemning nonbelievers to death. Michel Onfray’s books have been translated into 22 languages. His latest work, Traité d’Athéologie (The Atheist Manifesto) , is printed in Australia by Melbourne University Publishing.
