How Religion Shaped Everything You Believe
By Rachel Thornfield
Length55m
About this audiobook
Explore how ancient beliefs shape your modern thinking in ways you've never recognized. This fascinating investigation reveals religion's invisible influence on science, politics, economics, personal psychology, and every aspect of contemporary life you assumed was secular. Discover how spiritual impulses built civilization and continue driving human behavior beneath rational surfaces we pretend dominate decision-making. Learn why dismissing religion's role limits understanding of consciousness, meaning-making, and the forces shaping society's evolution across millennia of development. From Göbekli Tepe's mysterious temple birthing agriculture to the Axial Age transformation of human cognition, understand how religious thinking created the categories through which you perceive reality itself.
