My Path To Atheism (1885)

My Path to Atheism is a book written by Annie Wood Besant and first published in 1885. The book is an autobiographical account of Besant's journey from being a devout Anglican Christian to becoming an atheist. Besant was a prominent social reformer and women's rights activist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and her conversion to atheism was a significant event in her life.In the book, Besant describes her early life as a Christian, her education, and her experiences as a young woman. She also discusses her involvement in the Theosophical Society, a spiritual movement that sought to explore the mysteries of the universe and the nature of consciousness. Besant's encounters with theosophy, particularly the teachings of Helena Blavatsky, led her to question her Christian beliefs and ultimately reject them.Besant's journey to atheism is a fascinating exploration of the intellectual and emotional struggles that many people face when they question their religious beliefs. She discusses the role that reason and evidence played in her decision to reject Christianity, as well as the emotional toll that her rejection of her former faith took on her. The book is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the nature of belief and the human experience of faith and doubt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
