Summary: "God and My Neighbour" by Robert Blatchford is a non-fiction work likely written in the late 19th century. The book addresses themes of religion and morality, focusing on the author's critique of Christianity and its practices. Blatchford presents himself as a self-proclaimed "infidel," challenging conventional beliefs while advocating for a more rational and humane approach to ethics and spirituality. The opening of the book sets a reflective and conversational tone, as Blatchford walks through London's Strand, contemplating the nature of belief and infidelity. He shares his feelings toward the label of "infidel," which has been affixed to him by those in religious circles, and uses this as a springboard to delve into criticisms of organized religion's moral standings. Blatchford argues that traditional Christian ethics are not reflective of the essence taught by Jesus and raises questions about the inconsistencies in religious beliefs and practices. He emphasizes the need for a more rational, evidence-based approach to understanding faith, advocating instead for social justice and humanism over religious dogma.
