Why We Need Religion

An Agnostic Celebration of Spiritual Emotions

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Religion appears to be about God, messiahs, churchgoing, and morality, but that is only the appearance. It is really about lust, rage, grief, love and the other core emotions. Why We Need Religion is about the way religion successfully manages human emotions, for the good of the individual and the group.
