Is militant atheism a rational stance, or does it conceal deeper psychological motives? The Godless Paradox explores how Freud’s Oedipus Complex can be used to understand atheist extremism, arguing that the rejection of religious belief is sometimes less about reason and more about unconscious rebellion against authority, tradition, and the symbolic father figure.
At the same time, the book turns to Karl Popper’s philosophy of science to expose the limits of scientific inquiry. By demonstrating how falsifiability, paradigm shifts, and the problem of induction constrain what science can truly claim, it challenges the absolutist scientism often championed by extreme atheists. Science, like any system of thought, has boundaries—and understanding these limitations is crucial to intellectual humility.
Blending psychoanalysis, philosophy of science, and cultural critique, The Godless Paradox offers a bold and provocative perspective on the psychology behind atheism and the epistemological challenges that define our search for truth.
