Is God a Social Construct- by Dave Friedrich

A lecture given by Dave Friedrich at Southborough L'Abri on March 16th, 2018. For more information, visit www.labri.org/mass and for more L'Abri lectures, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library.

Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872) postulated that God is merely a human projection. Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud stated the same thing in their respective fields of politics, psychology and psychoanalysis. Author Yuval Noah Harari has given us a contemporary version of this take on religious belief in his books, Sapiens and Homo Deus. The goal of this lecture will be to first listen and learn from these thinkers and then to offer a word back.
