Principles of Nature -Elihu Palmer (WORLD UNION OF DEISTS).
A Development of the Moral Causes of Happiness and Misery Among the Human Species. Elihu Palmer was an ordained Presbyterian minister from Connecticut who valued truth much more than dogma and, therefore, became a Deist. In 1796 he started the Deistical Society of New York and became a close friend and fellow Deist of Thomas Paine. In 1793 he became blind due to yellow fever. However, this did not stop him in his efforts to promote Deism! His wife helped him to continue the Deist struggle for enlightenment and was of great importance in helping him write this excellent book. 202 pages. 15€
The Fracture of an Illusion: Science and the Dissolution of Religion -Pascal Boyer (Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2010)
Pascal Boyer argues that religion is largely an illusion. The anthropologist traces religion’s cognitive and evolutionary aspects. By religion he means a kind of existential and cognitive package that includes views about supernatural agency (gods), notions of morality, particular rituals and sometimes particular experiences, as well as membership in a particular community of believers. The package, however, does not really exist as such. Notions of supernatural agents, of morality, of ethnic identity, or ritual requirements and other experience, all appear in human minds independently. This implies that there is no such thing as a conflict between science and religion. Boyer takes the reader onto a journey through science and the dissolution of religion.
