"Ultimately, First Agnostic Church of Hope and Wonder contains no surprises. This is Snider in all his glory, peering into the fears and hopes of the human soul, laughing at them, and telling funny stories about them while at the same time recognizing that one moment - death - is binding. But even in the face of death, Snider reminds us to poke fun at all the elaborate schemes we've come up with to assuage our fears, and to celebrate the memories of the good times we've shared with our friends".
