True you might enjoy a story but not adopt the values taught in it, but if we follow such trends in argument as that of Hilary Putnam in "The Collapse of the Fact/Value Dichotomy" so called facts are increasingly being recognized as tied to values and values are tied to narratives. So call it religion or call it something else, something grounds belief that accounts for human perspectives and uncovering the hidden role it plays and where it comes from is certainly a worthwhile effort. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended m *by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2020* Mind blowing, impressive, very important, too neglected... Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Good first half, terrible second *by V***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2019* (Review of old, unexpanded edition)4.5/10The first part of the book, defining religion ('that which is held to be a self-existent first principle') and the necessity of religious belief in all theoretical thought (e.g. the axiom of a closed universe of matter and energy in materialist theories; various axioms, Platonic, constructivist, and otherwise underlying different views of the foundations of logic and math) is very good and worthy of reading. Something about his argument nevertheless 'feels' slippery or overly clever in rhetoric.When Clouser moves on to his constructive Christian project he makes misstep after misstep, moving from self-performative incoherence on the nature of civilizational institutions to outright heresy on the nature of God (stressing transcendence to the elimination of immanence, making even relations or persons in the essence of the godhead unknowable) to claims that the nature of God as revealed is created (in a way more extreme even than the Eastern Palamists, denying the existence of forms or ideas in the mind of God, denying that logic or Good or really anything is inherent in God qua God instead of God qua revelation). He then reinstates what's essentially the Kantian noumenal wall and denies the possibility of any natural theology, he trips so badly as to reduce the value of the first half of the book retrospectively. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/60589707-the-myth-of-religious-neutrality-an-essay-on-the-hidden](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/60589707-the-myth-of-religious-neutrality-an-essay-on-the-hidden) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
