God: A Human History by Reza Aslan

This a different perspective on evolution of God.

It is called a human history because it tries to track the God idea from the very initial development of human cognitive abilities to its current form of politicomorphism.

But in essence it doesn't challenge the God as a thought, and ends up promoting a different kind of faith where all faiths are welcome and free to practice independently.

A lot of times the religious practices are labelled as primitive or rooted in fear, and it never stands against the rationality, but the point is not to pit it against rationality. It is more of a haven for human life in the face of difficult situations, and unexplained phenomenon. It look forward to a greater power which can make the things different, and and give a reason to live/appreciate the life itself.

It is not one of his best but worth reading.

Peace
