Man, God, Religion, and State

Man, God, Religion, and State, is a reflection on our physical, philosophical, and political, past, present, and possible future. This book may challenge the religious views of some readers, but it is not my intention to cause offence to any religious believer. We are all living in a time of anxiety and insecurities, which may prevent us from embracing our humanity. But we should never allow either the pain and sorrow of the past or the threats and fears of the present to obscure our vision of what is just and truthful. Our present socioeconomic relationships are based on injustice and falsehood, which is unsustainable. We must therefore adjust our level and rates of consumption before we cross the line of no-return. In this sense, Man, God, Religion, and State is a warning to us all.

Desmond Clarke

I arrived in Britain in 1967 to join my mother and stepfather at the age of 14. After leaving school at 16, I spent three years in the British Army. After leaving the army, I worked as a truck driver for many years, until 1992 when I returned to academic studies. In 1997 I achieved a 2:1 (Hons.) degree from Luton University, followed by a post-graduate Diploma and a Masters’ degree from De Montfort University in 2004. My first book, Stolen Inheritance, was published in 2019, after many years of research. Man, God, Religion, and State is my second publication and I hope readers will find it stimulating and enjoyable.
