Is There A God?

by Bertrand Russell

Introductory:
The question whether there is a God is one which is decided on very different
grounds by different communities and different individuals. The immense majority
of mankind accept the prevailing opinion of their own community. In the earliest
times of which we have definite history everybody believed in many gods. It was the Jews who first believed in only one. The first commandment, when it was new, was very difficult to obey because the Jews had believed that Baal and Ashtaroth and Dagon and Moloch and the rest were real gods but were wicked because they helped the enemies of the Jews.
