The concept was wonderful and I was excited to read but the repetition quickly took a toll on the readability. Still a decent read but could have been written (or edited) better.

In "Hollow Gods," Mr. Loehr delves into his perceptions of liberals' attempts to supplant religion and God with a form of socialism where they assume positions of authority. Throughout the book, the author presents arguments demonstrating the shortcomings of liberalism's endeavor, as he contends that there exists no acceptable or fulfilling alternative to religion. The books is full of interesting statistics and facts which I found thought provoking. "Hollow Gods" proves to be a captivating and skillfully written piece. Admittedly, there are occasional instances of repetition, yet they do not detract from the author's core arguments. Although individual preferences may vary, I highly recommend giving it a chance, as the author presents genuinely intriguing points. Reading this book will undoubtedly prompt profound contemplation about one's perspectives on life's various aspects and how they may differ from others'.

Hollow Gods could have been a five-star book, but it fell far short for want of a good editor. The repetition in Hollow Gods was entirely out of control. I lost count of how often I read the exact quotation or point. It was simply totally off-putting. A good editor with sharp scissors could have improved this book dramatically. The author, Davidson Loehr, is a confirmed liberal, so his criticism of the current progressive movement in the US rings true. Still, Mr. Loehr's endless repetition made his book unpleasant to read.
