Religious dungeons.

It shows how religion has evolved throughout history from a path to truth into a prison-an instrument of power that restricts thought, creates guilt, and keeps people captive-and it calls on us to recognize this prison and leave it behind. "e;This book tells the story of the dark side of religious history. It highlights how free spirits Socrates, Hypatia, Giordano Bruno, Spinoza, and many others were persecuted by institutions because they asked questions that did not fit into the system. It reveals the mechanisms by which churches and religious leaders have built up fear, guilt, and power over centuries. At the same time, it invites us to understand faith anew not as a shackle, but as an inner path to freedom."e;
