Summary
Considers the fate of religion ; the evolution of religious belief from the dawn of the gods to their twilight--and tomorrow. Challenges us to see religion les as an ideology and more as a tool kit, a set of techniques--perhaps an art form--enhancing our lives the way that literature and art do.
