Why You Won't Go To Hell by Benjamin Vande Weerdhof Andrews A new insight into the origin of religion and the development of the spirit concept, based on the latest findings in Archaeology, DNA research and Neuroscience
Can we live a moral life without God? Are religions a force of good in the world? Is there life after death? In Why You Won’t Go to Hell, Benjamin Andrews argues that the time of religion is passing, and that humanity must create new laws and new systems to meet the challenges of a modern world based on science, logic, and the betterment of all. The book aims squarely at those who still seek answers to some of life’s biggest questions, or those who live in religious communities but fear the consequences of admitting their loss of faith. By drawing on thousands of years of history and cultural beliefs from around the globe, it challenges everything we think we know about spiritualism and religious belief.
In his nonfiction debut, Andrews embarks on a calm, systematic study of organized religion in human history, seeing faith as a psychological or even biological compensation rather than an indication of the divine... He asserts the superiority of secular action over religious faith..and he spends the bulk of his book refuting popular arguments of Christians and other religious adherents... He summarizes each of these arguments fairly and then dispels it with a combination of common sense and deductive reasoning...A rational case for the need for humanity to move beyond faith." -Kirkus Reviews
