The Illusionary Sun: Religion, Human Life, and Cultural Reconstruction

Abstract

Religion is a sort of special and important ideology and cultural phenomenon. It has been exerting tremendous impact on economy, politics, and cultures of the human society from nature worship, primitive religion, and mature religions like Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, and Islam to the new religions of non-theological characteristics, the quasi-religious “movements,” and others in modern times. It may be safely assumed that without understanding of religion, it will be difficult to fully comprehend human beings and their culture and it will be impossible to deeply understand human nature and evolution.
