Religion for Idiots is a bold, witty, and thought-provoking guide to understanding belief — from ancient rituals to modern megachurches, family traditions to viral spirituality. Rather than preaching or dismissing, this book pulls back the curtain on how religion actually works: how rituals shape behavior, how communities create belonging, and how faith can inspire purpose — or pressure. With sharp humor and surprising empathy, it explores why people believe, why they stop, and how to navigate both sides without losing your integrity (or your relationships). Inside, you’ll discover: The subtle psychology behind prayer, tradition, and “divine rules” - How different religions use storytelling, symbols, and community to build loyalty - How to question beliefs — your own or others’ — without burning bridges Smart, satirical, and refreshingly honest, Religion for Idiots is perfect for curious believers, thoughtful skeptics, and anyone trying to make sense of faith in the modern world.
