The great transformation begins with our religious heritage, by Karen Armstrong

We are risking an environmental disaster because we no longer see the Earth as sacred, but simply consider it a source of resources. And unless there is some kind of spiritual revolution that can embrace our technological genius, it is unlikely that we will be able to save our planet. Pure rational education will not be enough. We have seen that there may be a great university near us, just as there is a terrible concentration camp. Religion, which is supposed to help us correct this situation, often appears, behind violence and despair in our times. Almost every day, we see examples of terrorism, hatred, and intolerance driven by religion, and at the same time, an increasing number of people find traditional religious beliefs and practices useless and turn to art, literature, music, sports, or drugs to give them a transcendent experience humans need. Karen Armstrong is better than anyone else who has written about religions, and she has researched this issue in developed countries. Number of pages: 576
