It is when people cease to feel that they must either prostrate themselves before religion or denigrate them, we can import religious ideas into the secular realm. The author believed that the error of modern atheism has been to disregard the multiple aspects of the faiths remain relevant even after their central tenets have been dismissed. The author, Alain de Botton, bases his comments on the premise that supernatural claims of religion are false, yet, we can discover religions as repositories of a myriad ingenious concepts which we can try to assuage a few of the most persistent and unattended ills of secular life. This book is written by an atheist for atheists. “The most boring and unproductive question one can ask of any religion is whether or not it is true.”
