Can We Be Good Without God

Can We Be Good Without God: Biology, Behavior and the Need to Believe by Robert Buckman

Religion intrigues me. I have spent many years reading about and researching various belief systems. As to the overall theory of belief, this book was quite interesting. It does not debate the existence of God, leaving that open to the reader. Buckman lays a good foundation on the history of religious belief, delves into the common themes of various religions and probes the theory of ethics.

I found a lot of value in Buckman's thoughts. What I enjoyed most was the ethical question of how human morality is impacted by religious belief. If you enjoy religious philosophy, add this book to your shelf.

And my personal opinion...Yes.
