For religions such as Hinduism, Spiritualism, Jainism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism, etc. to have survived till now, it can be deduced that they are far beyond mythology. Looking from a humanistic point of view, religions, particularly the major ones, possess traits that are worth identifying and criticizing. Religion claims to have ultimate answers to fundamental questions of humanity, vis-à-vis: the source of humans, what awaits them in the afterlife, if any, and actions that are morally right and wrong. This has made it win billions of followers to its side. Each religion claims to have the ultimate interpretation of the truth about the Divine Being; whereas, these supposed truths differ from religions to religions.Though religion is one of the social contexts within with harmony and order could be achieved, it has also been used as a destructive tool, especially on perceived critics and oppositions. It has made humans vulnerable to a considerable number of fanatics that misinterpret the scriptures to justify their immoral acts, without the exclusion of violence and killings. Also, it has been used by religious leaders as a tool to act divinely, while the followers also blindly follow them, probably out of trepidation of the fate that awaits them in the afterlife.This book does not, in any way, downplay the positive roles religions in the past have played in ensuring a society devoid of conflict. Instead, it seeks to expose the evils that are being perpetrated under the guise of being religious. It also reviews the truism and falsity of some religious statements and events from an unbiased viewpoint. Until people are able to differentiate lies from the truth, conspiracy theories associated with religions will continue to persist; fanatics will continue their teachings; and terrorists will continue to reign freely in their most dangerous thrusts.
