Why people recommend it
The Religion War by Scott Adams is a speculative fiction novel that serves as a sequel to the author's earlier philosophical work, God's Debris, exploring themes of geopolitics and religious conflict through a futuristic lens. On Behind the Bastards, Robert Evans discussed the novel while outlining the proper reading order of Scott Adams's literary works for his audience. Later on the same podcast, Evans delivered a scathing critique of the novel, labeling it as one of the worst books ever written due to its absurd plot and failed predictions. Evans frequently brought up Adams's fiction novellas to analyze and critique the underlying messaging and ideological themes present throughout the author's body of work. The podcast commentary focused heavily on the bizarre narrative choices and the broader implications of Adams's worldview as expressed through his fictional writing. These discussions used the novel as a focal point to examine the ideological trajectory of its creator and the ways in which his fringe political and philosophical ideas manifested in his creative writing over the years.
