Overview
Class Central Tips
The course consists mainly of 70 to 80 minute lectures, typically broken up into 3 segments, recorded from a course offered by Rutgers University School of Arts and Sciences. These videos include slides and some embedded video clips. Most lectures are accompanied by slides used during the lecture, also including recommended reading assignment which may provide additional opportunities to reflect on your studies.
Due to the lengthiness of this class and natural progression, the online course has been separated into 3 units, this is Unit 1.

If you want to understand the genesis of gods and religions then this course is a must. This is a inter-disciplinary approach where Socio-Psycho-Cultural aspects of religious views are explained. Does it promote Atheism? It promotes logic and knowledge and if the implication is promotion of atheism then I don't think we need to worry. -
Heather completed this course, spending 5 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be medium.
This was a great course. It opened my eyes to a different perspective of the soul. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to explore other views. -
