About the Book

Using wry humor, carefully researched facts, and fascinating examples from history, The Religion Virus dismantles Western religions from prehistoric to modern times, using the powerful tools of cultural evolution, called memetics.

Each major religious concept (such as monotheism, heaven and hell, sin and morality, intolerance, guilt, and many others) is analyzed as a meme, a mutating, evolving entity that is fighting for survival and reproduction. With this insight, we learn how each idea's appeal, rather than its veracity, made it survive and thrive, but where "appeal" means the concept that is the most soothing, frightening, amazing or ego-boosting, not the concept that is correct.
