A biography that restores America's foremost 19th-century champion of reason and secularism to our still contested 21st-century public square. During the Gilded Age, which saw the dawn of America's enduring culture wars, Robert Green Ingersoll was known as "the Great Agnostic". The nation's most famous orator, he raised his voice on behalf of Enlightenment reason, secularism, and the separation of church and state with a vigor unmatched since America's revolutionary generation.

Trying to give religion definition is an almost impossible quest. The concept of faith is a contradiction; it can mean many different things to many different people.

What you are about to discover in this book will dramatically change the way you think and feel about everything in your life.

Before you learned to speak, you were taught to obey. Before you could wonder, you were handed answers. God Is the Prison is a bold and poetic exploration of how religion is installed into the human psyche-not as choice, but as inheritance. Zakir Hossain joins a long tradition of radical truth-tellers-from Nietzsche, who declared God dead, to Marx, who named religion the opiate of the masses. But where others argued through reason, Hossain writes with fire and rhythm. This is not a dry critique. It's a lyrical jailbreak.
