The Diminishing of the Gods

A thorough study of the history of gods reveals a pattern we’d expect if gods are not real.

Gods have been responsible for thunder, lightning, rain, comets, and holding up the very earth itself. The Christian god in particular has been finding himself with less and less to do these days...It’s almost enough to make a person think gods — and the Christian god, too — have simply been the human explanation for that which was not understood.
