NEW BOOK: NO POLITICS, NO RELIGION?
By examining human nature and what we are as a species, we see profound cooperation and commonality. Therefore, the topics of politics and religion should lead to greater agreement; when we begin the conversation with where we agree, we find more commonality than not in both domains. Handled as such, politics and religion can offer a path toward unity.
Religion is an expression of who we are and politics is about what we want. When we reframe our understanding of what we are as a species, we see that politics and religion are topics that can lead to greater accord. Our politics and religions lie at the center of what we are, and when discussed constructively, provide solutions. We should focus instead on our actual day-to-day preferences, not the supplied vocabulary of "liberal" and "conservative." This book humbly attempts to reboot the conversation.
