text: # Bibliography of books critical of Judaism
  
  This is a bibliography of literature treating the topic of criticism of Judaism as a religion, sorted by alphabetical order of titles.
  
  Books that criticise the religion of Judaism can be categorised in several groups, such as:
  
  * Books that criticise the Torah / Hebrew Bible and other Jewish scriptures, or a Jewish fundamentalist interpretation and application of them;
  * Books that criticise the Jewish religion as a whole;
  * Books that criticise all religions (especially the Abrahamic religions), including Judaism in particular; and
  * Books that criticise social separatism of Jewish minority communities, and argue for (voluntary or involuntary) Jewish assimilation (religiously, linguistically, socially, or culturally).
  
  Books that are critical of Judaism can be written by non-Jews (Gentiles) or by Jews themselves, such as Jewish secularists, Jewish atheists and Jewish assimilationists.
