Summary

"The Final Religion" explores the historical influence of religion and religious organizations--with specific examples from some of our most commonly held beliefs and celebrations--and then it helps us to think for ourselves, to follow the dictates of our own conscience, and to shape our beliefs with the help of three universal elements: truth, justice, and love. "The Final Religion" enables us to answer life's difficult questions and to shape our own future.
