What reading level is An Apology for Atheism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' Oftheir 'living God' they make an amplified Themistocles, and thus reduce(conscientiously, no doubt, ) the Creator to a level with His creature.
The author is without God; but did he believe there is one, still wouldhe scorn to _affect_ for Him a love and a reverence that nothing naturalcan feel for the supernatural; still would he scorn to _carry favour_with Deity by hypocritical and most fulsome adulation.
Finely did Eschylus say of Aristides-- To be and not to seem is this man's maxim; His... mind reposes on its proper wisdom, And wants no other praise.
Tell us, ye men of mystery, shall a God need praises beneath the dignityof a man? Shall the Creator of Nature act less worthily than one of hiscreatures? To do God homage, we are quite aware, is reckoned byChristians among their highest duties. But, nevertheless, it seems to usimpossible that any one can love an existence or creature of which henever had any experience. Love is a feeling generated in the humanbreast, by certain objects that strike the sense--and in no otherconceivable way can love be generated!
