Why does questioning religion make people uncomfortable?
Why is doubt treated as rebellion and reason as a threat?

In Why Religion Fears Reason, Devansh Sharma delivers a bold, uncompromising exploration of one of humanity’s most sensitive territories—the uneasy relationship between faith and critical thinking.

Across history, reason has driven discovery, progress, and liberation. Yet when it comes to religion, the same questions that fuel science and philosophy are often met with silence, fear, or punishment. This book examines why belief systems resist scrutiny, how traditions become untouchable, and why blind faith is often protected at the cost of truth.

This is not a book written to insult believers or promote arrogance. It is written to challenge ideas—not individuals. Through logic, philosophy, and honest reflection, the author explores how doubt is labeled as danger, obedience is praised over understanding, and inherited beliefs are rarely examined.

The book asks difficult but necessary questions:

Why is faith expected without evidence?

Why does religion fear questioning more than ignorance?

What happens to society when critical thinking is suppressed?

Can truth ever be harmed by honest inquiry?

Why Religion Fears Reason is for readers who believe that ideas must be questioned, not worshipped—and that truth does not fear investigation.

Because the moment we stop asking why, progress ends.
