Delving into the different problems and solutions that eight major world religions like Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Confucianism, Yoruba Religion, Daoism and Atheism strive to combat, God is Not One is an indispensable guide to the questions human beings have asked for millennia—and to the disparate paths we are taking to answer them today. A necessary book for anyone interested in the future of interfaith dialogue, readers of Huston Smith and Karen Armstrong will find much to ponder in God is Not One . In this essential work of religious studies, Prothero dismantles the myth of religious unity to reveal what truly defines each of the world's great spiritual traditions: A New Framework for Understanding: Go beyond superficial similarities and analyze each religion based on the unique problem it seeks to solve―from sin in Christianity to suffering in Buddhism. Why Religious Differences Matter: Understand why the stark distinctions in doctrine, ritual, and end goals between religions like Islam and Christianity are not minor details but are instead powerful, world-shaping forces. Comparative Religion in Action: Journey through the core beliefs and practices of eight global traditions, including not only major faiths like Judaism and Islam but also Confucianism, Yoruba Religion, and Daoism. A Challenge to Modern "Godthink": A powerful counterargument to the popular but misleading idea that all faiths are simply different paths up the same mountain, aimed squarely at readers of Huston Smith and Karen Armstrong. Review: Good book to know about the seven world religions - Honestly it’s a really good book if you’re into other religions and unlike other religious books, this one grabs your attention with relatable scenarios and information. Review: educación nísperos tirón and perhaps a bit of transformation - If you are a person that loves to learn and grow and therefore contribute more in life. Then this book will not only equip you but empower you too. This book tries and succeeds in reporting and describing the different religions in a factual adoring way. In how they are similar and different. In how they all have extremes and extremist and how they all have the mystical and ephemeral aspect. He dos a marvelous job talking about the values and beliefs, way of being exemplars in each one in a compare and contrast format but also in a high light manner as this book would be way too long otherwise. He succeeds in dice ting the different religions in terms of these term eloquently. He also points out that heaven, for some, is in the here and now and being human and doing human is the end goal. But also points to what some religions emphasize that here and now only matter to get to a different place. R that good conduct, social behavior, is in itself the key. There is a religious way of talking about religions which in a late night conversation at a bar can turn into a fight and then there is the secular an reporting way which this book exemplifies that allows one to not only experience and learn but also to question and evolve. Stephen is articulate and witty through out the book. I would highly recommend this book to only those that care about humanity and want to explore.

Thank you for the brilliant book Jorge Henriquez Mexico City ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great overview of the eight religions, poor attack on atheism *by M***L on August 9, 2025* The thesis of this book is to argue against perennialism. The author claims that each religion diagnoses the human condition with its own problem, and offers a unique solution. And that missing this fact by conflating them all as the same is to fail to respect their individual contributions. The majority of the book is short introductory chapters on each of what he considers the eight "great" religions. I found each of these chapters to be quite informative, given how short they are. I especially appreciated the chapters on Daoism and Yoruba religion. Most english language introductions to Daoism are very shallow and hardly go past the first line of the Daodejing, but this one was very informative and went into the history, different schools and the pantheon of Daoism. Yoruba I had never even heard of before reading this book, so I appreciate that he even included it at all. I have to subtract a star for a few reasons. One is that he manages to end the book with one of the most poorly argued polemics against atheism I've ever read. He considers atheism just another religion, and spends the majority of the chapter talking about what he calls "angry atheists" (i.e. the "New Atheists"). His reasons for categorizing atheism as a religion are very weak in my opinion. But leaving that aside if he's going to consider atheism a religion, I wish he would treat it with the same respect and charitability that he treats other religions with. He spends much more time focusing on Hitchens and Dawkins in the atheism chapters than he does on fundamentalists in the other chapters. The second reason I'm subtracting a star is that he doesn't address what I think is a primary form of perennialism. That is the belief, not that all religions are somehow equally true, but that the mystical experiences of the various contemplatives in those religions are the same experience. Maybe it was my fault for coming with bad assumptions, but this is the form of perennialism I was expecting him to argue against and it's not addressed at all in the book. Overall I would still recommend it as an enjoyable and accessible introduction to the eight religions he discusses. ## Frequently Bought Together - God Is Not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World - The World's Religions (Plus) - The World's Wisdom: Sacred Texts of the World's Religions --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/1610328-god-is-not-one](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/1610328-god-is-not-one) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
