After God by Don Cupitt

Traditional religious beliefs have reflected and grown out of the structures of the societies that produced them, yet, in our rapidly changing world, religious faith becomes increasingly divorced from the realities of life and is faced with the need to separate itself from the wider world in ways that can only reduce its effectiveness. This book explores the history of religious faith and meaning. It also suggests a future for religious belief, proposing that instead of retaining traditional forms and increasingly isolating itself from the wider world, it is vital that religion must change, moving away from the traditional concepts, in particular that of a god or gods. However, the book also maintains that our societies desparately need religious faith as a basis for social stability and morality.
