Religion. When you hear this word, what comes to mind? War, power, greed, brainwashing? Maybe other words which have their place in history: inquisition, witch-hunting, burning, torture? Or words we hear in our own history: jihad, extremist, suicide bomber? And there are other words spoken by dreamy-eyed gurus: peace, love, unity, consciousness, or words from those who consider themselves above religion: science, evidence, delusion, superstition, myths and fairytales. Religious history is full of such words and questions. Who were the Aryans? Why did they use hallucinogenic drugs to call on their gods? Who built the great ziggurats which stand on opposite sides of our world, in Iran and Central America? Did the ancients worship and serve giant beings which walked among them, demanding human sacrifice? Shamans, priests, prophets and magicians, servants of the gods, mediums of power, or frauds? Yahweh, Mithra, Horus and Agni, Lucifer, Allah and Ra, what do they have in common? Zoroaster, Buddha and Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Elena Blavatsky and L. Ron Hubbard, who were these people? Are all religions equally useful or useless? Do they all point to the same goal, share the same mysteries. Religion: History and Mystery explores the ancient and modern religions which have dominated the world for 6000 years. 22 religions, examined, exposed and deciphered. Is there one absolute truth, one infinite God? Religion: History and Mystery exposes the contradictions, uncovers the mysteries, and reveals the truth of who and what we are.
