WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT RELIGION (BUT SHOULD)

Book ID/图书代码： 12580016B88569

English Summary/英文概要： What is a religion? Why are people religious? Are religious people more educated than nonreligious people? Are religious people more moral, more humble, or happier? Are religious people more or less prejudiced than nonreligious people? Is religion good for your health? Are people becoming more or less religious? Studying religion as a social phenomenon, Ryan T. Cragun follows the scientific data to provide answers to these and other questions. At times irreverent, but always engaging and illuminating, What You Don’t Know About Religion (but Should) is for all those who have ever wondered whether religion helps or hurts society—or questioned what the future holds for religion.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 什么是宗教？为什么人们会信仰宗教？有宗教信仰的人比不信教的人受更多的教育吗？有宗教信仰的人更道德，更谦卑，更幸福吗？有宗教信仰的人比不信教的人有更多或更少偏见吗？宗教对你的健康有好处吗？人们变得越来越不虔诚？瑞安•克拉根将宗教作为一种社会现象来研究，遵循科学数据来提供这些和其他问题的答案。有时离经叛道，但总是引人入胜和富有启发性的，《关于宗教，你不知道的事（但应该知道）》是为所有曾经怀疑宗教是否帮助或伤害社会，或质疑宗教的未来会是什么样的人所写的。(LNL)

Awards/获奖情况：

"An extremely lively, engaging, and enjoyable book. Cragun masterfully weaves together personal anecdotes, international current events, sociological data, relevant social issues, and theoretical insights in presenting a sober, clear, and at times quite passionate introduction to how social scientists understand and approach religion. This highly readable, conversational, and yet soundly argued book is strongly, enthusiastically recommended."“一本非常有趣，迷人和令人愉快的书。克拉根巧妙地将个人轶事，国际时事、社会学资料、相关的社会问题和理论见解编织在一起，呈现了关于社会科学家如何理解和接近宗教的清醒、明确和时而热情的介绍。强烈推荐这本可读性和对话性强，论据严密的书。”菲尔-祖克曼，匹泽学院的社会学副教授，以及《没有更多信仰》和《没有上帝的社会》的作者

“瑞恩克拉根给我们带来当代社会宗教现象的一个风趣、简洁、犀利而多元化总结。这可能被冠上“你想知道关于宗教的一切，但不知道问谁”的标题。就像这本书所表明的那样，问瑞安•克拉根吧。”——汤姆•弗林，“自由探究”的编辑

“《关于宗教，你不知道的事（但应该知道）》是期待已久的，对一片对宗教阿谀奉承的书的抗衡者，是基于经验的对宗教的探查，包含了从前被忽视的广泛内容。明确的叙述，个人和谈话的语气，没有术语或过于复杂的语言，这本书将鲜活的轶事与众多领域的社会科学研究结合起来，包括伦理、教育、社会行为、家庭生活、性和种族歧视等等。”卢克•盖伦，心理学副教授，《成为世俗者》的共同作者

-Phil Zuckerman, Professor of Sociology at Pitzer College and author of Faith No More and Society Without God

"Ryan Cragun has given us a witty, concise, trenchant yet many-faceted summary of the phenomena of religion in contemporary society. It might have been titled Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Religion, but Didn’t Know Who to Ask. As this book makes clear, Ryan Cragun is who to ask." -Tom Flynn, Editor, Free Inquiry

"A long-overdue counterweight to books designed around religious boosterism, What You Don’t Know about Religion (but should) is an empirically based examination of religion that extensively catalogues what has been previously overlooked. Plainly stated, personal, and conversational in tone, without jargon or overly complex language, this book mixes poignant anecdotes with social science findings across many domains, including ethics, education, social behavior, family life, gender and racial attitudes and more." -Luke Galen, Associate Professor of Psychology and coauthor of Being Secular
