Today s agnostics are scorned by believers for their failure to find faith, as well as by atheists for being hopelessly wishy-washy and weak-minded. But John Humphrys is proud to count himself among the agnostic ranks. In this candid memoir he charts the history of his spiritual life, from his Christian childhood through the years in which he prayed every day of his life until his growing doubts finally began to overwhelm his faith.In 2006, he challenged the leaders of three of the world s biggest religions to prove to him that God does exist, all to no avail. Enthusiastic and honest, this intriguing study shows that while doubt is not the easiest option, if is often the only possible one for the millions who can find no easy answers to the most profound questions."

Humphrys wants to believe in god but can't because "reason" suggests otherwise. He's uncomfortable with simplistic scientific explanations such as genetic "misfirings" which purportedly explain even extraordinary examples of human altruism. Through all this, Humphrys loses sight of the differences and many rituals in religion and their significance. Believing alone is not enough. I think however, that Humphrys believes if there is a god, He would look beyond those differences and adherence to rituals (e.g. polytheism, monotheism and little things like praying 5 times a day). Basically, he wonders how some people can be "so sure" about god and loathes the fact that he just can't. This is why he calls himself a failed atheist.
The whole book is pretty much about this. It didn't seem like a long book when I picked it up but upon reading it, I felt otherwise. Even so, his examples and explanations seemed necessary somehow, especially toward the end of the book. It all seemed to make sense by then and you understand this man to a degree. This is not a book for strong atheists or religious fundamentals but rather for agnostics.
