His "Why I am not a Christian" is pretty good Know any other short philosophical essays against religion?
How the Churches Have Retarded Progress
"You may think that I am going too far when I say that that is still so. I do not think that I am. Take one fact. You will bear with me if I mention it. It is not a pleasant fact, but the churches compel one to mention facts that are not pleasant. Supposing that in this world that we live in today an inexperienced girl is married to a syphilitic man; in that case the Catholic Church says, "This is an indissoluble sacrament. You must endure celibacy or stay together. And if you stay together, you must not use birth control to prevent the birth of syphilitic children." Nobody whose natural sympathies have not been warped by dogma, or whose moral nature was not absolutely dead to all sense of suffering, could maintain that it is right and proper that that state of things should continue."- Bernard Russel

I read his wiki page and the guy was an prolific progressive activist and writer. I am thinking of buying his 1967 900 page introductory book that summarizes the history of philosophy in 3 parts, from the ancient Greeks, through the Christian period, through the modern era.

I assume he's just a protestant trying to overcome his cognitive dissonance. They can't handle the possibility their special snowflake interpretation is wrong. They never give a reason why it's wrong, or how the Catholic teachings are morally incorrect, they just spout strawmen while ignoring the fact that Christ never condoned rebellion (which any "reformer" was doing), and that it was never permissible to do evil that good may come (Romans 3:8)
You cannot be a Protestant without being either intellectually dishonest or historically illiterate. Although by no means am I saying Catholicism is 100% true.

Sorry, are you saying that four hour work days lack integrity or distancing yourself from the Bible lacks integrity?
