After God: The Future Of Religion

In our rapidly changing world, religious faith has become increasingly divorced from the realities of life, and is faced with the need to separate itself from the wider world in ways that can only reduce its effectiveness. This book both explores this history of religious faith and meaning, and suggests a future for religious belief, proposing that, instead of retaining traditional forms and increasingly isolating itself from the wider world, it is crucial that religion must change, moving away from the traditional concepts. However, the book also argues that our societies desperately need religious faiths as a basis for social stability and morality.
