Helpful to understand the nexus of philosophy and religion, a connection I had not considered. Sometimes people profess religious arguments blindly because the minister said. Looking forward to reading it again.

famous philosophers from around the world,mostly french.I never thought about philisophy's relationship with religion or ethics.This put these two important subjects in context and provides a framework for an objective look at religion.

Quotes from all the great philosophers throughout the ages. Amazing how interesting that can be. Plus the book features opposite arguments for every point. Very fair analysis.

A very interesting treatise on how ethics & religion are often separated. A fascinating analysis of the history and current application of the major world religions to the ethical problems of today. Reinforced my belief that most organized religions are at the root of the worlds problems regarding military conflicts, terrorism, most types of extremism, and a general disbelief in scientific facts. Well worth the read!

Quotes of our great philosophers through the ages, which really puts our religions and ethics in context. Not a pretty context, but a fascinating and mindboggling book. The highlight is the debate between the author and his close friend, who happens to be a Catholic Brother. Extremely interesting.

Myths of the Tribe: When Religion and Ethics Diverge provides an interesting and in-depth exploration of the history of religion in general, especially the catholic and protestant faiths in relationship to ethics and social issues facing the globe. I recommend this book if you are looking for some insight into religion and what religions say about certain social issues.
