ITEM OVERVIEW
No one in their right mind has much truck with religion. Least not Upton Sinclair over these 320 pages. Written in 1918, this is more than just a broadside against religion, but the work of an impassioned, idealistic socialist writing at the end of the World War I, when the notion of an international socialist revolution still seemed like a very real possibility. Sinclair's chief concern is social justice, and his aim is to enlighten common people by training his critical intelligence on the many hypocrisies of established religion, and in particular, its collusion with the power structure of capitalism.
