The Tyranny of Shams is a book written by Joseph McCabe in 1916. The book is a critique of organized religion and its role in society. McCabe argues that religion is a sham and that it has been used to control people for centuries. He suggests that the true source of morality and ethics is not religion, but rather human reason and empathy. McCabe also discusses the history of religion, including the rise of Christianity and the role of the Catholic Church in European history. He argues that the Church has been a force of oppression and that it has used its power to maintain its own authority. The book is a scathing critique of organized religion and a call for people to think for themselves and question the authority of religious institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
