Summary of Timothy Keller's The Reason for God

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Religion can be a major barrier to world peace. It can create a slippery slope in the heart, and lead to the marginalization of others or even active oppression, abuse, or violence against them.

#2 There have been several attempts to control or even ban religion in the twentieth century. Soviet Russia, Communist China, the Khmer Rouge, and Nazi Germany were all determined to tightly control religious practice in an attempt to stop it from dividing society or eroding the power of the state.

#3 The secularization thesis is now largely discredited. Religions are not just a temporary thing that helped us adapt to our environment; they are a permanent and central aspect of the human condition.

#4 The second strategy is to try to socially discourage religions that make claims of having the truth. We could encourage our citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs, to admit that each religion is just one of many equally valid paths to God and ways to live in the world.
