Religion is relevant to all of us, whether we are believers or not.
This book concerns two interrelated topics. First, how probable is
God's existence? Should we not conclude that all divinities are
human inventions? Second, what are the mental and social functions
of endorsing religious beliefs? The answers to these questions are
interdependent. If a religious belief were true, the fact that
humans hold it might be explained by describing how its truth was
discovered. If all religious beliefs are false, a different
explanation is required. In this provocative book Herman Philipse
combines philosophical investigations concerning the truth of
religious convictions with empirical research on the origins and
functions of religious beliefs. Numerous topics are discussed, such
as the historical genesis of monotheisms out of polytheisms, how to
explain Saul's conversion to Jesus, and whether any apologetic
strategy of Christian philosophers is convincing. Universal atheism
is the final conclusion.
