This book takes a fresh and comprehensive look at the God problem from various perspectives. It explores provocative details about the evolution of human beings, how powerful god superstitions arose, and how these developed into organized religions. With new knowledge in a number of scientific disciplines-from fundamental physics and cosmology, to biology and anthropology, to human psychology-it shows how the idea of God is unnecessary for our reality and us.
Throughout history, there have been many moral and philosophical approaches to the God problem, as well as those advanced by more modern theologies. The book takes these head-on and demonstrates the absurd nature of all the prevailing arguments. There is a hard-nosed analysis of the psychological, neurologic, and behavioral factors that perpetuate people's irrational faith in God, and it demonstrates how all the devotional, ritual, traditional, communal, and other activities of organized religion are fully maintained by known principles of human psychology. It reveals how common sense often leads to false understandings about the world, and how our brains actually trick us into believing things that aren't real. In short, it effectively rules out the prospect of some personal God.
The God issue has evolved into one of the most contentious and destructive in human history. It is one of human individual and group pathology. God, Science, and the Problem of Faith comes to one inescapable conclusion-that the God idea is merely an illusion, and humanity is well-served by coming to that realization.
