Alpha God

The Psychology of Religious Violence and Oppression

Hector A. Garcia

An insightful book using evolutionary psychology to explain how religion has been shaped by our past and how it can lead to violence and oppression. The author examines religious scriptures, rituals, and canon law to demonstrate how our evolutionary legacy has influenced the development of religion. The alpha male concept seen in primate society is reflected in the image of God as the dominant male in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The book highlights the impact of male-dominated social hierarchies on religion and how it can lead to discrimination and violence.
