Description
More than two centuries after the Age of Reason culminated in the French Revolution, modern society still operates on the basis of assumptions and attitudes that have their origin in ancient myths. These myths, propagated by organized religion, not only hamper efforts to apply reason to our problems, but they can even foster violent conflicts that threaten global security. In Myths of the Tribe, author David Rich argues that the belief systems of all major religions have become a detriment to clear thinking, rational conduct, and wise public policy. Rich argues for rational analysis of all problems in the light of objective scientific evidence, a system of ethics that allows complete individual liberty constrained only by the principle of harming no one else, taking personal responsibility for one’s own welfare and actions, and the absence of government control over the pursuit of happiness. As relevant today as it was when first published by Prometheus Books in 1993, Myths of the Tribe has been updated in its second edition with new data reflecting our views on religion and social mores in the twenty-first century.
