Written in the first part of the 20th century, this work was ahead of its time. it delineates the stupidity of mankind through the ages. It also show the restrictive power of organized religion on the education of the human race. the heir-achy of each successive founding of faith ignores the reality of the gift of god in the all too often successful suppression of mankind in order to suppress the masses ans use them to amass wealth for the over-glorified leaders of the CHURCH whatever domination you choose to research. Great read and very enlightening.
