AskWhy! Books explains historical Christianity and Judaism, Christian and Jewish origins, history, faults, fallacies, and alternatives, the truth based, not on wishful thinking—faith!—but on scientific and historical evidence, over 1000 pages of it! Once the clergy might have believed their lies, but now they have no excuse! The real history of these religions is rational, unlike the sacred history. What we need is a manual for personal survival, and for preserving the world. It should serve for reading for pleasure, for devotion, as a source of facts and as a basic text for primary schoolchildren. It would be a primer of philosophy, science and ourselves. We should be able to dip in it anywhere and feel enlightened. It would explain the natural selection of all living things, and give the key facts of living, ranging from our relationship with other creatures, and our place in the Solar System and the Universe, to our duties and responsibilities to each other and to Nature. The guiding stars of naturalism are wisdom and empathy. Adelphiasophists do not fear the vengeance of any vindictive and jealous god, but picture Nature as the Goddess, the Great Mother of all things, who prepares the world into which we are brought so that it can nourish and protect us. If we damage our world, it will damage us back—eventually. The Way of the Adelphiasophists, the natural religion of the world, the truth of the Goddess Nature.
