Is religion a virus that infects otherwise healthy individuals? That is a question raised by a provocative new book entitled, The God Virus. It is by noted psychologist and student of religion, Dr. Darrel Ray.

Dr. Ray will be in Las Vegas while on a book tour to promote his new work. Come out to see his presentation and learn more about his study. August 2, 1:30- 3:30PM at the the Coffee Bean at 4550 S. Maryland Pkwy.

The God Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture by Darrel W. Ray, Ed.D.
The book is a ground breaking study of religion and its practical effects. Why are people so clear about the faults and failures of other religions and so blind to those of their own? Learn how religion impacts and influences your life and what you can do about it. See www.thegodvirus.net for more information.

What are others saying?
"Darrel gives an engaging, highly informative, fun, and at points hilarious, presentation. You will be left wishing that there had been more time to explore with him all aspects of this dead-on perspective of religion and its effects on all of us. (You, too, are a vector!) Come prepared for what should be a very lively Q & A. This is a book and lecture you DON'T want to miss!"
----Dennis Horvitz, Host, "NYC Atheists Live! (On Tape)"

    •  This was great. I think the issue of communication with our religious friends and family isn't brought up enough. His analogy of the "God Virus" really puts it into perspective. I look forward to reading the book. 
    •  Dr. Ray was very personable and made a good presentation. I is always enjoyable getting together with fellow free-thinkers. 
    •  This was an amazing presentation, much more than I had expected. Awesome. 
    •  excellent presentation!!!

       My wife and I attended, figuring it would be a great 'first-timer' type of an event. We were entirely correct. Darrel Ray is extremely personable - I believe he spoke to everyone there individually, which made us feel more comfortable. His presentation was very interesting, and at quite funny at times, as well. It gave us a lot to talk about, which was great as, while I am an atheist, my wife isn't quite sure - he gave her a lot to think about, and she even wants to read his book (which he autographed for the 2 of us. 
    •  Perhaps the best presentation I've ever seen. Clear, meaningful, attention holding. I learned a lot.
