Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the negative effects religious practices have had on the physical well-being of humanity. The author begins by discussing human sacrifice as a religious rite, describing the practice in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and other cultures. The author argues that, historically, human sacrifice has been linked to the supposed requirements of a deity and was a widespread custom as people attempted to appease or obtain the aid of their gods. The author then examines other religious practices that have caused physical harm, such as circumcision, flagellation, mutilation, fasting, and extreme religious rituals. The author further explores the role of religious practices in the decline of human health, such as the use of religious austerities and penances. The book concludes with a discussion of the negative effects of religious fanaticism and superstition, arguing that religious practices should promote physical and mental well-being rather than causing harm.
