The God Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Religion with Dr. Darrel Ray

Welcome to The Good Book Club Podcast, where all our bookclub meetings and bonus events are made available for listeners to enjoy. On this episode we discuss "The God Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture" by Dr. Darrel Ray.

"The God Virus" uses the analogy of religion as a virus to explain the psychology behind it. Dr. Darrel Ray, uses his background in psychology and his knowledge of religion to explain the hold that religion has on our culture. The book is a lot of fun to read and the author does a wonderful job of educating us while never losing focus of his clever yet appropriate analogy.

Dr. Ray joins us for the second half of the meeting and as always, it's an absolute pleasure to have him talk to the group. We know you'll think so too!

This Good Book Club meeting was originally held on Sunday, January 14, 2024.
