Matt DeStefano is unswayed by an argument explaining atheism by immorality.

Strikes me as an odd place to start a discussion on the existence of an entity; by the discussion of a moral thought structure that only requires human involvement.

Reading that review, the book doesn't even sound like something a philosophy magazine should bother with. It sounds like unresearched, armchair pop-psychological twaddle. It doesn't sound particularly philosophical.

The author of the book is a philosophy professor, on the other hand, but at a evangelical Christian college. I wonder if he's ever published anything in a peer-reviewed, non-Christian philosophical journal.
