Where do gods come from - and what is the cost of bearing them? In
Practicing Safe Sects F. LeRon Shults argues for the importance of
having "the talk" about the causes and consequences of
participating in religious sects. To survive and thrive as a social
species, we humans are likely to continue needing some kind of
sects (as well as sex) for quite some time. But can we learn how to
practice safe sects? Can we live together in healthy and productive
social networks without reproducing the superstitious beliefs and
segregative behaviors that are engendered and nurtured by shared
ritual engagement with imagined supernatural agents? In this
provocative and timely book, Shults provides scientific and
philosophical resources for answering these questions.
