Religion As A Bar To Progress

By Charles Turner Gorham

Book Overview

Religion As A Bar To Progress is a book written by Charles T. Gorham. The book explores the relationship between religion and progress, arguing that religion can sometimes act as a barrier to social, scientific, and technological advancement. Gorham examines various historical and contemporary examples of how religious beliefs and practices have impeded progress, including the opposition to evolution and stem cell research. The book also discusses how religion can be used as a tool for political control and how it can contribute to social inequality. Despite its critical view of religion, the book does not advocate for the abandonment of religious beliefs altogether, but rather encourages a more critical and reflective approach to religious teachings. Overall, Religion As A Bar To Progress is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the complex relationship between religion and progress.Based Mainly On Andrew Dickson White�������s Famous Work, The Warfare Of Science With Theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
