"My Path to Atheism" by Annie Besant is a collection of essays that tells of the author's transformation from a committed Christian to an atheist in the 1800s. The story follows Besant's thoughts and feelings as she grapples with her faith and the logic that leads her to reject traditional religious ideas. It highlights her exploration of complex religious questions, particularly focusing on the teachings of Christian faith and the impact of the Bible, which she perceives as inconsistent with the idea of a divine power. Besant begins by detailing her growing separation from Christianity, revealing key events that fueled her philosophical questioning, as well as detailing how her personal experiences contributed to her challenging existing beliefs.
