The Tyranny of Shams, written by Joseph McCabe and first published in 1916, is a critical examination of the role of religion in society. The book argues that religion, particularly organized religion, has been used as a tool of oppression and control throughout history. McCabe contends that religious institutions have been responsible for perpetuating ignorance, superstition, and intolerance, and that they have hindered progress and scientific advancement.The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the origins of religion and the ways in which it has been used to control people. McCabe argues that religion was created as a means of explaining the natural world and providing comfort in the face of mortality, but that it has been perverted by those in power to maintain their control over society.The second part of the book focuses on the specific ways in which religion has been used to oppress people. McCabe discusses the role of religion in the persecution of heretics, the suppression of scientific inquiry, and the justification of slavery and other forms of exploitation.The third and final part of the book offers a critique of the major world religions, including Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. McCabe argues that these religions are based on myths and superstitions, and that they have been used to justify violence and oppression throughout history.Overall, The Tyranny of Shams is a scathing critique of organized religion and its role in society. McCabe's arguments are still relevant today, and the book remains a powerful indictment of the ways in which religion has been used to control and oppress people throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
