A bold look at how religions grow in the human mind and through history, with practical ways to question received ideas.
This edition surveys the origins of religious ideas and the way creeds have evolved across cultures. It presents a method that treats beliefs as human constructions shaped by sense experience, language, and the natural world.
The book invites readers to examine how gods and sacred stories may reflect natural phenomena, not divine revelation. It argues that understanding these roots can illuminate how religious systems influence societies, ethics, and power.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
