GAJ the End of Religion Author:Robert Lewis Gaj: The End of Religion offers a concise survey of our metaphors for "God" from 600 BC to the present in the service of a single compelling argument: The pantheists were right; "God" is not an individual but the very substance of the universe. — This argument, as supported by quantum physics, is explored with reference to such thinkers as Mary M... more »agdalene, Jesus, and Muhammad; Descartes, Spinoza, and Coleridge; and Nietzsche, Carl Jung, and Teilhard de Chardin.
The implications of pantheism for our personal and global worldviews are explored in the context of religion, philosophy, quantum physics, self-knowledge and selfhood, notions of good and evil, and the current intertwining of church and state in both North America and the Middle East.
At the close of the second chapter, the book's thesis is framed as follows: "Picking up where the philosophers left off, the physicists of the twentieth century reconciled the pantheistic core of the pre-Platonic worldview with the rational truths of empirical science. They proved the pantheists right, and therein lies the end of religion as a mediator in our access to Gaj" (God/Allah/Jehovah).« less
