Editorial Reviews:

In The Wheel of Religion the author grants the validity of our emotional religious instincts, but then goes on to separate them from our traditional theological trappings. Having made this distinction, to his satisfaction at least, he then suggests an alternative religion based on the premise that we are a species, just like every other, forced to submit to nature's rules rather than those we have conveniently crafted for ourselves. According to the author, those rules include a commitment to evolution which, in turn, leads to the realization that we must use nature's methods (known to us as the scientific method) to determine how that evolution should proceed in every aspect of our lives.


Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Thou shalt evolve

That, more than anything else, was the message I took away from this book. The entire book is told in the form of a morality-play from the far future in which an Earth-like culture has successfully replaced destructive religions with constructive ones, but the culture's not that different from ours. Hopefully we can someday work out our problems in the same way.

The book gets docked one star for an odd digression about keeping an eBay style dossier on everyone. That chapter probably would've been better suited for one of the other three wheels, which I hope will soon be forthcoming.
