Synopsis
Religion has produced some of our most powerful human experiences, and its central idea of God may be the most philosophically significant that mankind has ever had. There are good reasons for this, and not all of them are immediately apparent.The most obvious, however, is that religion has expressed mankind’s most treasured beliefs and values in human history. At the centre of religious thought, the concept of God is not only a defining feature of religion, but is also its pivotal and highest value.The main objective of this work is to show how religion provides both a mythology of—and a message about—the human story that science and even conceptually explicit philosophy cannot offer. My other objectives include the dismantling of extreme positions about religious belief and practice. One extreme rejects religious belief outright as false and thereby useless, or even harmful. Another is that religion is a transcendental magisterium, out of the reach of science, psychology and reason. Both of these positions are misguided, and I explain why in the following work.
