Synopsis

"Smart embarks on a worldwide tour of traditional religions and secular ideologies. He explores in a detailed and detached manner all the major religions--Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism. He also discusses ideologies--nationalism, Marxism, democracy, secular humanism--which often rival religion and in an important sense are themselves religious. Smart emphasizes the importance of approaching the various worldviews with an open mind"--Jacket.
