Book excerpt: The purpose of writing this book is to expose irrational religious teachings and encourage readers to think independently. The author questions the assumption that faiths are the revelations of our Creator.There are multiple questions to pose regarding this topic: what is the soul, and what happens after death? Why are there so many different religions, holy books, and worship rituals? Who were prophets? Why did god conceal himself from humanity? There is no god, but humans created brand-name gods of religions. Organized religions are spending billions of dollars every year in marketing their brand-name-god as the Creator and are profiting from it handsomely. Millions are making millions in this business. Cut-throat competition, winner takes all, and losers are forced to submit. Nations with standing armies are willing to give their all to protect their brand-name-god. Religion is the 'Brand' and the god of the faith 'Brand-name' god (Logo). The prophet is the 'CEO, ' and the followers are loyal 'Customers.' God cannot be without a religion, and Creator does not need one. Is there a god who can deliver justice in this world and not keep making promises, or keep issuing threats? To keep our god relevant in all situations, we continually flip-flop, and that makes everything foolproof.The author makes a passionate case for Creator, who is utterly incomprehensible, establishes the laws of nature to manage the affairs of the universe, is impartial and does not interfere in human affairs. Making Creator a party in humans struggles is self-serving. Creator is not a god of any religion. Creator does not show fake miracles, write mythical stories, make false promises, or write defective laws; One is exceptionally neutral and loves all. Creator and the universe is One. God does not exist, and Creator does not support any religion.Creator has no rival god to eliminate. One is not a Lord and does not demand or rewards worship. Don't need followers. Creator created humans capable of taking care of themselves so, humans don't need a message coming from the heave.The founders of religions were spiritual leaders who served humanity to the best of their abilities; however, they were not commissioned by any god, and they were not infallible. The message from a founder of a religion was accepted as the message from a brand-name god that the founder created for this purpose, who then is called the Creator, and that's a grand deception. Believers criticize science because they are concerned that science will prove that their religious teachings are false.Sun, Moon, and Stars are planets that revolve around each other in galaxies and not around the Earth, which itself is a small planet. And there is no sky but infinite space. Please, god, take note of it. Just because we can't explain something through science, does not mean that god is doing it.Religions gave us divine kings, feudal lords, slavery, and cast system. Genocides, inquisitions, and witch burnings. Persecutions, cutting of limbs and stoning to death. Wife beating, honor killing, and blasphemy laws. All on the name of god.The author encourages readers to live their lives, guided by their conscience, and enjoy it while they have it. No smoke screens and no make-believe worlds, you obey the law and do not worry. It's your deeds and not your beliefs that matter. Relax, be good, and be happy.
