Why I Am Not a Christian: Bertrand Russell [ If Bertrand Russell were alive today , he would not befriend the New Atheist Cult ]

British philosopher Bertrand Russell was a classical HUMANIST atheist . His loving daughter ,despite her father's objections , converted to Christianity. She thought that her father had barely suppressed his religious instincts. If Bertrand Russell, also a professed democratic socialist , were alive today he would surely write a book titled : " Why I Am Not a Capitalist, American Imperialist , Israeli Zionist. If you doubt me, read the scathing book on Lord Russell's views of America : " Bertrand Russell's America " . He would not befriend the New Atheist Cult.

Show original results AI Overview [ Yes, Bertrand Russell's daughter, Katharine Tait (Lady Katharine Jane Tait), became a Christian and wrote about her father's views on religion. She suggested that, despite his famous atheism and public critique of religion, his life was a "search for God". In her book, My Father, Bertrand Russell, Katharine Tait observed: Her father attacked religion by focusing on its "most egregious errors" and "avoiding serious discussion of the basic message". There was "an empty space that had once been filled by God" at the back of his mind and in the depths of his soul, and "he never found anything else to put in it". Russell had "passionately searched for God everywhere but in the church". She believed he had been exposed to too many "blind Christians, bleak moralists who sucked the joy from life," which prevented him from seeing the truth of the Christian faith. ]
