Can you believe in God and not be religious? Or simply put, why do human beings have a need to believe in something… anything? This book is a journey through the genesis of faith, the evolution of ancient spiritual practices, the dawn of major world religions and an exploration of the emerging frontiers of New Age spirituality.

Dawkins and Hitchens have convinced many western intellectuals that secularism is the way forward. But most people don't read their books before deciding whether to be religious. Instead, they inherit their faith from their parents, who often innoculate them against the elegant arguments of secularists. And what no one has noticed is that far from declining, the religious are expanding their share of the population: in fact, the more religious people are, the more children they have. The cumulative effect of immigration from religious countries, and religious fertility will be to reverse the secularisation process in the West. Not only will the religious eventually triumph over the non-religious, but it is those who are the most extreme in their beliefs who have the largest families. Within Judaism, the Ultra-Orthodox may achieve majority status over their liberal counterparts by mid-century. Islamist Muslims have won the culture war in much of the Muslim world, and their success provides a glimpse of what awaits the Christian West and Israel. Based on a wealth of demographic research, considering questions of multiculturalism and terrorism, Kaufmann examines the implications of the decline in liberal secularism as religious conservatism rises - and what this means for the future of western modernity.

Why is religion still around in the twenty-first century? Why do so many still believe? And how do various traditions still shape the way people experience everything from sexuality to politics, whether they are religious or not? In Why Religion? Elaine Pagels looks to her own life to help address these questions. These questions took on a new urgency for Pagels when dealing with unimaginable loss—the death of her young son, followed a year later by the shocking loss of her husband. Here she interweaves a personal story with the work that she loves, illuminating how, for better and worse, religious traditions have shaped how we understand ourselves; how we relate to one another; and, most importantly, how to get through the most difficult challenges we face. Drawing upon the perspectives of neurologists, anthropologists, and historians, as well as her own research, Pagels opens unexpected ways of understanding persistent religious aspects of our culture. A provocative and deeply moving account from one of the most compelling religious thinkers at work today, Why Religion? explores the spiritual dimension of human experience.

Have you ever wondered why there is so much religious diversity in the world? How did this story of humanity begin and what ancient wisdom has been lost along the way? Can you believe in God and not be religious? Or simply put, why do human beings have a need to believe in something... anything? This book is a journey through the genesis of faith, the evolution of ancient spiritual practices, the dawn of major world religions and an exploration of the emerging frontiers of New Age spirituality. Along the way, we will find answers to some intriguing questions, such as why the Quran acknowledges Abraham, Moses, and Jesus as prophets. We will explore why most Buddhists do not believe in the existence of the soul and discover how Jesus' birthday on December 25th was originally a pagan festival. Why does Hinduism contain the elements of monism, monotheism, polytheism, and pantheism, all in one faith? What is the relationship between ancient Vedic texts and quantum physics? Which gene makes us 'religious' beings and how might our future spirituality be redefined by New Age lifestyles? ...and many more. Many Paths, Many Truths is a profound contemplative inquiry packaged as an easy read for anyone who desires to gain insight into life's existential questions through the lens of the wisdom of world religions and spiritual philosophies. A treat for both novices and experts alike, whether you are seeking your own inner truths or researching systems of faith beyond your own, this book is a great place to start your journey.

Many authors have written on the effects technology, economics, and politics have on globalization, but few have addressed the potential impact of world religions on the future direction of globalization. The Future of Peace and Justice in the Global Village: The Role of the World Religions in the 21st Century is intended to fill this vacuum. It addresses the part the world's major religions will play in bringing either greater peace and justice, or hatred and hostility to the global village.
