Class Conflict

يرى المؤلف في كتابه هذا أن المشكلة ليست في الدين، إنما في ذلك التثبيت الذي يلقاه والذي يصبح به، ليس في تعاليمه الإيمانية فحسب، بل حتى من أكثر تعاليمه دنيوية، خارجاً عن الزمان والمكان، بحيث يصبح كممارسة معيقاً لأي تغير في الأوضاع السائدة، من هنا كانت في الماضي الثورات والإصلاحات الدينية، ولذلك الآن فصل الدين عن الدولة والسياسية والعالم، لكي لا يستغل، ولكي نتمكن من إقامة مجتمع عصري يتعايش فيه جميع أبناء الوطن بشتى دياناتهم، ولكي ترضى الحاجات الإنسانية على أفضل وجه، وفي مقدمتها حاجة بقاء الذات وحاجة الجنس، على طريق تحقيق سعادة الإنسان التي هي غاية ذاتها.
