I’ll advised use of Twitter functionality for a chapter by chapter review of @evantthompson’s #WhyIAmNotABuddhist. Will link the threads with that hashtag. This is the Introduction chapter. 
The Introductory Chapter is not a perfunctory one. It provides a nice overview of the overall thesis of the book and a lot of relevant details about Evan’s substantial personal & professional background with Buddhism / efforts to combine Buddhist practices & cognitive science.
It’s clear from the opening that this isn’t intended as a polemic but rather as an informed critique from a ‘friend’ who has a deep interest and personal connection to Buddhism and recognizes it as a complex religious tradition with valuable practices and systems of thought.
