Two Hundred Thousand years ago, we the sapiens were just a newly evolved species in a corner of Africa. Eventually we transformed ourselves into the master of the entire planet. We tamed our surroundings, increased food production, built civilizations and established empires. Unfortunately, despite all our astonishing achievements whenever it comes to religion, we humans become primitively narrow-minded. We have advanced from canoes to galleys to steamships to space shuttles, yet often many of us humans find it extremely difficult to look beyond the textual fanaticism of the scriptures. If all the religious leaders of humanity intended to teach the lessons of love and compassion, then why are there so many conflicts in this civilized world? The answer can be found inside the magnificent neural circuitry of the human brain. Abhijit Naskar, bestselling author and one of the world’s celebrated neuroscientists shows us a way out from the religious conflicts. He shows the possibility of a better world, where science doesn’t collide with religion. He shows the construction of a world, where people from all religious backgrounds embrace each other and live in harmony. Naskar uses the tools of modern neuroscience to analyze the human perception of religions and shows us the path towards universal tolerance.
