Sample Book Insights:
#1 The majority of the world’s religions portray a god that is fearsome and male. This god is the source of violence and oppression, and his depiction demands reckoning.
#2 God was created in the image of man. Men have historically used God to justify their worst impulses, and this has been evident throughout religious history. Men have sought dominance in the manner of male apes, using violence to obtain evolutionary rewards such as food, territory, and sex.
#3 The god of the Abrahamic religions, and the gods of many other religions around the world, is a dominant alpha male. He has acquired power and used it to control material and reproductive resources.
#4 The premise of this book is that God is not a dominant ape, and that religion is not used to justify out-group hatred or violence. Rather, religion is used to navigate interactions with other humans, and it is these instinctive drives that are behind every form of violence and oppression.
