What is a religion? Why are people religious? Are religious people more educated than nonreligious people? Are religious people more moral? Are they humbler or happier? Are religious people more or less prejudiced than nonreligious people? Are religious people better at coping with death? Is religion good for your health? Are people becoming more or less religious? Based on what you hear from the media-and on what religions themselves purport to teach-you may think you know the answers, but think again.
Studying religion as a social phenomenon, heralded sociologist Ryan T. Cragun follows the scientific data to answer these and other fascinating questions about the nature and state of religion (and nonreligion) across populations. He presents his findings in this groundbreaking book, What You Don't Know about Religion (but should). No matter your beliefs, the data he presents will challenge all-from religious fundamentalists to the New Atheists-and change how you view religion, both in your life and in society at large.
At times irreverent, but always engaging and illuminating, this book is for all those who have ever wondered whether religion helps or hurts society-or questioned what the future holds for religion. As Cragun argues, our increasingly complex globalized multiethnic world presents a series of challenges that demand a reasoned response. Our world needs tolerance. It needs technology. It needs science. It needs education. It needs respect for the environment. It needs gender equality. It needs good parents. And, as the data presented in this book make plain, it also needs a new way of thinking about religion.
