Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, grade: A, University of Glasgow, course: Religion and Literature, language: English, abstract: Douglas Adams says about himself that he is not just a confessing atheist, but rather a radical atheist. This attitude leads us to the task of this seminar paper.

Furthermore, as a result, we will see in how far this piece of literature can be regarded as serious criticism of religion.
