Russel's thinking is a lineage in a link that begins with the Age of Reason of Bacon and captures the pragmatic issues of the era. Although it is difficult to say which of the works has influenced me his 'Why I am not a Christian' had such a clarity about it so much so that Christ's greatness becomes even more clearer in his critique of Christianity. I believe it is the organised Christianity that he criticises rather than Christ the man. He was one among others who defined the essential characteristic of the twentieth century as one that exposed the nature of Man and one who warns of not using the rational part of Man in solving his problems.
