There is good reason why some people don't want to talk about
religion in polite company. Like conversations about politics,
discussions about religion all too often set people at odds with
each other in ways that are hard to predict and difficult to
control. For all the controversy involved with such debate, this
book invites the reader to engage with an ethical appraisal of
religion(s) as they are practised today. It is written in the
belief that this is an important dialogue for our time. It claims,
despite the emotive character of the subject, that the free
exchange of ideas and experience between people of differing views
and commitments can with practice generate more light than heat.
Particular effort is made to answer the question: how can we fairly
evaluate the ethical character of religion(s)? It focuses
especially but not at all exclusively on the religions of
Christianity and Islam, being critical of them in many respects;
but it also offers sharp rebuke to some of the perspectives of
Richard Dawkins and others among the new atheists.
