The Christian Legacy: Taming Brutish Human Nature in Western Civilization

Our fractured and divided world, with its culture wars, reflects the absence of values capable of enabling the evolution of human civilization. In our modern world, some secularists have come to believe that eradication of religion is the key to improving the well-being of humanity and a few express their opposition forthrightly, as Bertrand Russell has done in his book, Why I Am Not a Christian. Recently three more cogent arguments for atheism have appeared: Christopher Hitchens’ book: God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything; Richard Dawkins’ book: The God Delusion; and Sam Harris’s book: The End of Faith. In this book, Edgar Eckfeldt persuasively argues that they are dead wrong.
