What reading level is The Natural History of Atheism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As a man flees from a burning furnace, or a poisonous drug j I have long since given up these sources of sorrow. I have- tasted of the water of eternal wisdom ; My heart enlightened, I desire to enlighten others, And to declare the doctrine of the most excellent law. But if I were to partake of these polluting pleasures, Then I should in the end fail to attain wisdom, For it is by continuing in these deceitful pleasures. That a man acquires the infection of folly and sin, Neither profitable to ...himself nor able to profit others ; I, therefore, desire not these things — I cast them away. It is these pleasures that burn up all living things, Even as the fire at the end of time burns the world. They are perishable as the bubble that rises on the water, Light as a dream, unreal as a phantom, Hollow and false, deceiving the worldly-wise ; But the man of true wisdom finds no delight therein. Just as you see the child with his fellows Playing and polluting himself with filth, So is the ignorant and besotted man polluted by these ; He sees the dazzling sheen of the jewelled trinket.
