this book provides an alternative (better) way to understand the future of religion, especially in the dialectic context of sacredness and secularness-while learning from different approaches in the literature but without favoring any one of them (nor integrating them, since they are not necessarily compatible with each other). Thus, this book offers a new theory to go beyond the existing approaches in the literature on religion in a new way not thought of before. If successful, this seminal project is to fundamentally change the way that we think about religion, from the combined perspectives of the mind, nature, society, and culture, with enormous implications for the human future and what the author originally called its "post-human" fate.
