To all those who know that truth alone will free us from the tyranny of indoctrinated pious obsessions this volume is sincerely dedicated. This book has been written to tell the truth about a religion that has produced such obviously irrational behavior. The story needs telling all the more for the reason that it has never been told in its bald straight factual truth, and because heaven and earth have been called upon to prevent its being known ever since the third century. It is in the main truth that has been suppressed, buried, its evidences destroyed, its documents changed, with a story far other than the true one substituted in its place. The position taken is in no sense opposed to religion per se; it only holds that religion divorced from philosophy is inadequate to man’s highest needs and will prove a treacherous and eventually dangerous guide in life.
