The Meaning of Belief
Religion from an Atheist’s Point of View
Tim Crane
Understanding the Religious Impulse: The Meaning of Belief proposes a new way of looking at religion, arguing that most atheists have fundamental flaws in their approach. Author Tim Crane argues that religion is not what they think it is - it's not just a primitive cosmology or explanation of the universe. Instead, religion involves an impulse people have of something transcending their experiences and the sense of belonging to a specific group. By reframing the debate, Crane offers a way for atheists to better understand the phenomenon of religion.
