Many Christians today lack a basic understanding of the evidence that supports a Christian worldview (how one views the world). The purpose of this book is to provide the evidence for the main religions of America, both the supporting evidence and the undermining evidence. The intended audience of this book is any open-minded person with a tenth-grade education or more - it is not just for Christians struggling in their faith, but for anyone open to considering some of the major evidence available today. In short, it is for the average person.
Most books on this topic are intended for one with an interest in theology or philosophy-focusing on the defense of Christianity rather than its differentiation between any other religion. These types of books tend to fall short for those convinced that Christianity is not logical and are thus not interested in a philosophical argument advocating the Christian narrative. To interest those already convinced, one must be skeptical and put the viewpoint to the test. As the French philosopher Denis Diderot (1713-1784) wrote, "What has not been examined impartially has not been well examined. Skepticism is therefore the first step toward truth." The focus of this book will be upon the undisputed evidence accepted by all.
