Inventing God: Psychology of belief and the rise of secular spirituality: Jon Mills New York, Routledge, 2017, 243 pp., $57.95 paper, ISBN-13: 978-1138195752.

In this intriguing but frustrating book, Jon Mills tries to do three things. However, Mills, like so many new atheists, misunderstands the issue of scientific meaning, in stating that "[t]he God question is not a legitimate scientific topic because it does not meet the basic requisite of falsifiability through testability." Mills struggles to uphold a standard something like this, but in the end the need to falsify religion wins the day, as exemplified by the following statement: "There is no evidentiary or verifiable proof for believing that God is anything but an idea" (p. 75).
