This book investigates the origins of the world's superstitions and dogmas, which the author believes to originate from the fertile imagination of our early ancestors and their attempts to explain the unknown. The author traces the progression of humanity's understanding of its place in the universe, from primitive fear and superstition through to the development of modern science and reason. The book explores the impact of religious thought on human conflict and suffering while challenging the concept of a transcendent being. The author argues that our knowledge of the universe and our place within it is the result of our own intellectual efforts, rather than any divine revelation. The book concludes with an impassioned plea for the separation of church and state, and a rejection of the idea of a higher power.
