Description

Despite religion being a core theme of many contemporary debates, a solid and settled definition of the concept has not yet been reached.

Nevertheless, it is regularly assumed that, because of their common characteristics, we are able to recognize religious phenomena when we see them.

For example, it is often supposed that religion is primarily based on faith, that religion conflicts with science, and that the world would be a lot less violent without religions.

Yet, no matter how widespread such assumptions might be, in the end, they turn out to be incorrect.

What we think about religion does not correspond to what religion really is.

Offering many concrete examples from different traditions, Religion: Reality Behind the Myths dispels the main misunderstandings, breaches the contemporary opposition between secular versus religious and presents a novel view on the essence of religion.
