Synopsis "Thoughts on Religion"

Using light humor and sarcasm to make the case for a naturalistic worldview, this little book examines contemporary issues regarding religion. Dr. Fox's training as a natural scientist and interest in religion have predisposed him to examine the evolutionary, cultural and psychological roots of religious belief and human morality. Contemporary claims that religious persons are happier, healthier, and more honest and charitable than nonbelievers are debunked. Emphasis is on Western (Abrahamic) faiths, but some Eastern and minor religions and cults are also considered. Many prosocial behaviors traditionally attributed to religious instruction are more the result of evolution than religion. Supernatural belief systems tend to inhibit scientific, social and moral progress; promote and perpetuate numerous cruel and anachronistic practices; and waste enormous global assets in their maintenance. This book examines the many disadvantages and dubious advantages of most religious belief.
