The Reliability of Religious Texts: A Critical Examination As we embark on a logical critique of atheism, it is essential to address the historical reliability of religious texts, which serve as the foundation for many belief systems.

The Problem of Interpolation One of the primary concerns regarding religious texts is the possibility of interpolation – the intentional alteration or insertion of material into an original text....
The Problem of Ambiguity in Religious Texts Atheists often criticize religious texts for being unclear, ambiguous, and open to multiple interpretations. This critique is not unfounded, as many religious texts do contain passages that are difficult to understand or seem contradictory. However, this ambiguity can be seen as a deliberate feature rather than a flaw. Testing Faith through Ambiguity One possible explanation for the ambiguity in religious texts is that it serves as a test of faith....
