About this listen

We used to believe in everything. Thunder had a name. The wind had a temper. The sun rode across the sky in a chariot, and the dead needed directions to find the afterlife. This is the story of how humans turned fear into firelight, rituals into religions, and mystery into mythology. From bone dolls in caves to modern AI cults, From Gods to God traces the full arc of belief — how we invented gods, gave them faces, wrote them books, and then slowly stopped believing in them altogether. It’s not about faith. It’s about why we ever needed it. Wide in scope, chill in tone, and grounded in reality, this book is for anyone who’s ever wondered where the sacred went — and whether we’re really done with it.
