"This book advances the 'strong' programme that sociology and anthropology provide
a scientific foundation for arguing that God and the gods are human creations. Contending
that religion is one - but not the only - way to systematize and institutionalize
the moral order of a society, the author argues that religion reflects the fundamental
human need for belonging and the social function of compassion. As such, our transcendental
and supernatural ideas are really concerned with our everyday lives in communities
and, faced with severity and immediacy of the global problems with which the world
is confronted - existential threats - it is increasingly important to abandon delusions
and correct our mistake in reference, not by eradicating religion, but by grounding
it more explicitly in earthly matters of community, social solidarity, belonging and
compassion. A wide-ranging study of the roots, nature and purpose of religion and
theistic belief, Society and the Death of God will appeal to sociologists, social
theorists and philosophers with interests in the scientific study of religion and
the role of religion in the life of humankind"
