«Perché non possiamo essere cristiani (e meno che mai cattolici)» is the essay by Piergiorgio Odifreddi (Longanesi, hardback, 264 pages, in Italian).
The mathematician Piergiorgio Odifreddi goes through the Bible and the history of the Church to argue that Christianity, and especially Catholicism, is incompatible with reason, science and morality. He points out logical contradictions and historical unfoundedness in the dogmas and presents anticlericalism as a defence of secularism.
The work was published in 2007; according to the bibliographic record, it is the fifth edition. It falls within the categories of philosophy and religion.
A work of interest for those who follow the debate between science and religion and seek a rationalist critique of Christianity.
Piergiorgio Odifreddi is an Italian mathematician, logician, scholar of the history of science, and popular science writer and essayist, especially on philosophical atheism as a member of the Italian Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics. He is philosophically and politically near to Bertrand Russell and Noam Chomsky.
