Atheism in Christianity: The Religion of the Exodus and the Kingdom (German: Atheismus im Christentum: Zur Religion des Exodus und des Reichs) is a 1968 book by German Marxist philosopher Ernst Bloch. The book offers a third way to the Christian/atheist either/or debate. Gareth Jenkins from Socialist Review says that Bloch "argues that there are liberatory, 'atheist' elements within Christianity with which socialists should make common cause."
Reception
Nicholas Lezard of The Guardian called the book "exhilarating to read".
