Books with title Myths of the Tribe: When Religion and Ethics Diverge

Myths propagated by organized religion not only hamper efforts to apply reason to our problems but can even foster violent conflicts that threaten global security. Myths of the Tribe argues that the belief systems of all major religions have become a detriment to clear thinking, rational conduct, and wise public policy, suggesting we substitute a rational analysis of all problems in the light of objective scientific evidence, a system of ethics that allows complete individual liberty constrained only by the principle of harming no one else, taking personal responsibility for one’s own welfare and actions, and the absence of government control over the pursuit of happiness.
