This comprehensive dictionary describes all the major religions and belief systems as well as many of the denominations, cults and sects that have stemmed from them. It also addresses religion’s debate with and response to secularism and describes the main secular faiths, such as atheism, agnosticism, Utilitarianism, Darwinism, Marxism and many more.
The scale of the work raises fundamental questions about the nature of religion, its role in the formation of human society and the way it has conditioned a multitude of diverse cultures around the world. Uniquely, this dictionary also discusses secular philosophies, which, as the antithesis of religion, confront basic religious concepts and beliefs, offering alternative perspectives and explanations.
