'An Atheist's History of Belief' unfaithful to its title
"As the son of a Manx Methodist atheist and a refugee German Jewish atheist," Matthew Kneale tells us in the first sentence of "An Atheist's History of Belief: Understanding Our Most Extraordinary Invention," "I have never been much of a believer." It's a great way to begin a book on faith, by staking out the territory of skepticism.
