Religion has a chequered history that has at times been associated with violence, torture and war. Its origins come from imagination and invented Gods, but it evolved into something based on a real God that could be shown to exist through prophecy. The messages came through, showing an enlightened being, who implored people to treat others as we like to be treated ourselves, but the message often fell on deaf ears, even within religions themselves, even up to the modern day in places. Religions even condoned slavery and murder. This book follows a part of religion that by its actions denigrated the name of the very being it relied on for its existence, and in so doing the book traces much of the history of religion.
