Publisher's Synopsis
""What Is Religion?"" by Robert G. Ingersoll is a thought-provoking examination of the nature and purpose of religion. In this book, Ingersoll explores the various definitions of religion and the ways in which it has been used throughout history. He argues that religion has been used as a tool of oppression and control, but also acknowledges its potential for good in promoting moral behavior and providing comfort to individuals. Ingersoll draws on a wide range of sources, including philosophy, science, and literature, to present a compelling case for a secular approach to morality and ethics. He challenges readers to question their own beliefs and to consider the role of religion in society. ""What Is Religion?"" is a timeless classic that continues to inspire and provoke readers to this day.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G.
