Religion and Gods by Robert Green Ingersoll; edited by Ian Tarquin Hume 156 pages; soft cover; cover price $14.00 Order >> Book Description Amid the Twenty-first Century’s escalating religious tensions, Robert Green Ingersoll’s views on the substance of religion and gods offer a firm foundation of logic and independent thought leading to a life examined and a life of happiness free of the shackles of religious faith.

Whether the present-day enslavement of the human mind is called Intelligent Design, Creationism, Evangelical Christianity, Islam, Catholicism, or any other convenient label, Ingersoll’s fact-based philosophy remains intact: Reason, Observation and Experience—the Holy Trinity of Science—have taught us that happiness is the only good; that the time to be happy is now, and the way to be happy is to make others so.

As the world’s societies split and fragment into mindless, fanatical camps of religious extremism, blind faith, infallibility and false doctrines, Ingersoll offers the touchstone of self-created happiness derived from the human mind in harmony with Nature outside of the conscript of religion.

This is a book for those who question the nature of mankind’s beliefs about the mythologies of religions, gods and the supernatural and who look to reason, observation and experience—the foundations of science—for their life philosophy. The companion book to Religion & Gods is The Rationalist Press publication, God: Hit or Myth by Robert Green Ingersoll, edited by Ian Tarquin Hume.
