Item Description:This book introduces us to three monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - and the distorted image of a God who is praised when committing violence. Instead peace should be the soul and lungs of all religions. Religion is not the source of violence; violence is constellated through human manipulation. There is an urgent need for self-awareness, the "sine qua non"; for all transformation so that western countries can move away from this distorted image or dominant religion or "new opium"; Several concrete observations are proposed with the book ending with a call to a wider vision of transcendence, an openness to a larger frame of reference, that is, of meaning and an enlarged vision of the role of religion's passion to bring spirit and forgiveness to public life and provide a vision of moral order
