Instead Of Entering Into A Pointless Debate On Whether Or Not God
Exists, It Is More Important To Bear In Mind That Belief In The
Existence Of God Has Little Bearing On Making A Person A Good Or A
Bad Citizen. One Can Be A Saintly Person Without Believing In God
And A Detestable Villain Believing In Him. In My Personalized
Religion, There Is No God! Khushwant Singh, Over The Decades, Has
Built Up A Reputation For Coming Up With Something New And
Controversial In Each Book, And He Does Not Disappoint His Readers
This Time Too. He Begins With A Chapter On The Need For A New
Religion Without God , In Which He Questions The Relevance Of God.
He Then Moves On To Describe How Religion Has Proved To Be More
Harmful Than Beneficial And, In The Process, Debunks Astrologers
And The Breed Of So-Called Godmen .
