Amid the Twenty-first Centurys escalating religious tensions, Robert Green Ingersolls views on the substance of religion and gods offer a firm foundation of logic and independent thought leading to a life examined and a life of happiness free of the shackles of religious faith. Whether the present-day enslavement of the human mind is called Intelligent Design, Creationism, Evangelical Christianity, Islam, Catholicism, or any other convenient label, Ingersolls fact-based philosophy remains intact: Reason, Observation and Experience the Holy Trinity of Sciencehave taught us that happiness is the only good; that the time to be happy is now, and the way to be happy is to make others so.As the worlds societies split and fragment into mindless, fanatical camps of religious extremism, blind faith, infallibility and false doctrines, Ingersoll offers the touchstone of self-created happiness derived from the human mind in harmony with Nature outside of the conscript of religion.Hume, Ian Tarquin is the author of 'Religion & Gods ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780977148943 and ISBN 0977148947.
