Utility Of Religion

The book ""Utility of Religion"" by John Stuart Mill is a philosophical work that explores the role and purpose of religion in society. Mill argues that religion should be judged based on its utility, or usefulness, rather than its truth or falsehood. He contends that religion can be beneficial for individuals and society, as it can provide moral guidance, comfort, and a sense of community. However, Mill also acknowledges the potential harm that religion can cause, such as intolerance and oppression. Throughout the book, he examines various religious beliefs and practices, and evaluates their utility based on their effects on individuals and society. Overall, ""Utility of Religion"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between religion and society.THIS 62 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Nature; The Utility Of Religion; And Theism, by John Stuart Mill.
