"Why do people come to reject climate science or the safety and efficacy of vaccines, in defiance of the scientific consensus? A popular view explains bad beliefs like these as resulting from a range of biases that together ensure that human beings fall short of being genuinely rational animals. This book presents an alternative account. It argues that bad beliefs arise from genuinely rational processes. We've missed the rationality of bad beliefs because we've failed to recognize the ubiquity of the higher-order evidence that shapes beliefs, and the rationality of being guided by this evidence. The book argues that attention to higher-order evidence should lead us to rethink both how minds are best changed and the ethics of changing them: we should come to see that nudging - at least usually - changes belief (and behavior) by presenting rational agents with genuine evidence, and is therefore fully respectful of intellectual agency. We needn't rethink Enlightenment ideals of intellectual autonomy and rationality, but we should reshape them to take account of our deeply social epistemic agency"--

This book challenges the view that bad beliefs - beliefs that blatantly conflict with easily available evidence - can largely be explained by widespread irrationality, instead arguing that ordinary people are rational agents whose beliefs are the result of their rational response to the evidence they're presented with.

Bad Religion suggests that there are two classifications of religious people in the world: those that better the world through their faith, and those that cause harm and suffering through their religious misinterpretations. Bad Religion focuses on the latter group of individuals who practice "bad religion," by engaging in religious misconduct. Drawing from psychological research, Bad Religion examines the roots of religious indiscretion, traces the stages of development, examines the nature of people and personalities prone to religious misconduct, and suggests ways for them to maturely seek answers to the questions: "Who am I ," and "What do I stand for?"

False beliefs are always more powerful than truth. In the South, speaking truth to power can have dire consequences. Small town newspaperman Vernon Covington knows firsthand the corruption that fueled the 1934 textile strike. For publishing truth supported by facts, his newspaper is foreclosed, he is run out of town, and his spirit nearly broken. Nearing the end of his career and drowning his demons with alcohol, he shares a desk with Betsy McCall, a feisty young reporter who herself gets tossed out of a United Daughters of the Confederacy meeting for challenging the myth of the Lost Cause. Together, they are determined to cut through the fraudulent history of the South and expose how those wanting to remain in power manipulated whole generations into accepting half-truths and lies as common knowledge. They discover that whites seized control of the South Carolina legislature from Black officials and forced a US President to topple a governor so a Confederate General could take his place. Vernon tells Betsy how racism was invented to keep poor whites and blacks apart politically and that Betsy's aunt was murdered because she was a woman - a bold woman - at a time when men didn't like bold women, especially one daring to lead a union drive and a protest about the brutal working conditions and low pay at Crowell Textile Mill. This vivid and unforgettable account of a South Carolina town stretches from the heyday of slavery, through the Civil War to the Great Depression. It reveals what happens when communities embrace false ideas and provides background for how America's democracy is at risk because even today there is a plague of bad beliefs.

For readers interested in political theory and political activism, as well as anyone puzzled by the persistence of theistic conviction in the modern world, this critique of religious belief provides insightful analysis. In light of rational standards for belief acceptance that are universally acknowledged in enlightened circles, theistic convictions are deeply problematic. Thus it is not surprising that some of the most important heirs of the Enlightenment tradition—Ludwig Feuerbach, Émile Durkheim, Sigmund Freud, and Friedrich Nietzsche—wondered, implicitly, why belief in God persists and even flourishes among those who should and in some sense do know better. This book provides fresh insight into the work of those thinkers by reflecting on the explanations they proffered and on their explanatory strategies. For all their many differences, their respective explanations share a common core and are driven by a similar (largely unelaborated) normative commitment. On Levine’s account, believers today believe in bad faith—in other words, they evince a fundamental intellectual dishonesty. If only for this reason, they merit reproach, even in the comparatively rare instances when "faith perspectives" do more good than harm. From this standpoint, the author reflects on the liberal turn in the so-called Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) and depicts liberal religion as a vehicle of exit for those who implicitly acknowledge the untenability of the beliefs they profess, yet are unable or unwilling to face this reality squarely. He argues that liberal religion is therefore a transitory phenomenon, albeit one that has survived for a long time and that is not about to expire soon. Levine then faults the religious Left on this account, arguing that even in those historically rare conditions where bad faith motivates welcome political engagement, it is nevertheless undermined by its deep inauthenticity.

"Pastor Williams' work exposes the emptiness, singular thinking and false rhetoric behind many of today's popular and divisive political beliefs. It also offers insight into how those guided by self-serving convictions sometimes use the 'cover' of religion to create an air of legitimacy that abhors challenge. If we are to survive as 'One Nation Under God, ' we must be open to being transformed by the love of Christ, listen to each other, understand that we are human and therefore flawed, and when we act, act with a spirit of compassion and understanding. The message preached by Pastor Williams in his work is the same message of hope that Jesus preached-that we should be guided by the love of God and accepting of the differences in others, not by our own ambitions and attempts to limit the world to one of our own design." - Dick Ambrose, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge "Personal experience becomes dangerous when we make those experiences the law of life for everyone we encounter; and when those experiences become the genesis for intolerance, bigotry, hatred, and lack of compassion for anyone whose experiences have been different from our own. This is expressed by Dr. Williams in this pamphlet." - Marcia Fudge, US Secretary of Housing and Urban Development "Dr. Williams expresses, reveals, and opens his soul in this thought-provoking work." - Terrie Wolf, Agent / Foreign Rights Manager "Pastor Ron does the job of a modern-day evangelist to evaluate the only two human emotions known to mankind, in my opinion, and that is love and fear. Hate is just a byproduct of fear. He explains that we fear what we do not know or accept doctrine that has gone before us, and that the only way to conquer fear is with love.
