Please Note: In an effort to be more accessible to readers and due to popular demand, Jarin Jove has made split versions of Faith in Doubt for those who may want to read Parts I and II in isolation. This ebook only covers Part I. It doesn't cover Part II of Faith in Doubt.Within Part I of Faith in Doubt, the general topics of religion and it's application to people's everyday lives are covered. Chapter 1 focuses upon people's personal perceptions of their own luck or blessedness when good or bad events occur in their lives and their attribution to religion for those positive or negative events. Chapter 1 further covers personal moral attributions to the dichotomy of good and evil with how people perceive events. Chapter 2 covers ascetic beliefs and their purported moral goodness when advocating for an anti-materialist perspective along with an analysis on the supposed benefits of prayer. Chapter 3 focuses upon religious beliefs in relation to death and the personal meaning that people attribute to belief in an afterlife. Chapter 4 focuses on the pitfalls of open interpretation providing a coherent worldview and a coherent moral framework to live one's life in the modern era. Finally, Chapter 5 probes the general misogynistic aspects of religion and further delves into how the religious culture of gender roles negatively impacts men and women from birth onward and within war zones. Jarin Jove applies cognitive psychology such as from Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow, social psychology such as from Robert A. Cialdini's Influence: Science and Practice, Analytical Philosophy such as logical fallacies, and a more modernized form of Nietzsche's philosophical viewpoints by getting straight to the point on Nietzsche's criticisms of religion which have remained unchallenged and largely ignored since the late 1800s.

If you are a religious believer, have you ever had doubts about your religious faith? Have you found yourself questioning your faith sometimes and finding yourself unable to let go of such questions? Have you found responses by others to your questions to be dissatisfying? Then, please consider reading Faith In Doubt. If you're unsure, ask yourself: would you prefer to live your life with honesty and integrity or would you instead prefer to possibly keep living a lie because questioning your faith feels uncomfortable to you?This book is the completion of a four-year project that attempts to critique religion using a multifaceted approach. It is broken up into Two Parts. In the first portion of this book is a critique of the general issues of religion by using cognitive and social psychology, logical fallacies, a Nietzschean philosophical perspective on different aspects of religion, and relevant Political Science subjects pertaining to religion. Part II consists of his refutation of the theological concept of Original Sin and critiques of each of the major world religions through diverse approaches specifically made for each religion: all religions contain different internal structures within their theology and therefore different approaches are needed. Faith in Doubt challenges the historical record of Judaism and its impact on contemporary Jewish societies across the world. He critiques Christianity through a similar approach as Part I. He examines and repudiates Islamic theology by exposing the fallacies of its theological conceptualization of the world and the dangers that it poses to the West's Enlightenment values, to the progress made by Feminism, and to Secular Republics from the US to India. Lastly, the two major Dharmic faiths are explored and why they need either reform or rejection. The original intent of Faith in Doubt was to critique religions between their positive and negative aspects, but because of the findings of four years of research and the chief concern for human rights, the author had a change of heart and advocates for Anti-theism out of sincere concern for the human rights of Ex-Muslims, Transgender people, and women across the world.
