There's hope for the millions of Americans who have given up on religion, but wish to fill the void with a meaningful replacement. More and more disenchanted former churchgoers are awakening to find that they have within themselves the ability to direct their own spiritual lives, free from the fear and guilt that so often accompany organized religion. Spirituality, apart from religion, is now a mainstream concept, with far-reaching implications for this country, and a better world to come. The author, a former minister, and conservative Christian of thirty-six years, examines the powerful hold exerted by the business of religion, from an extreme insider's viewpoint. Nothing is sacred, as he dares to question the litany of long-standing majority beliefs, the hopelessness of materialistic science, and the possibilities of the paranormal, on his way to advocating the viability of an individual path of worship.
