Loyal Rue presenting the central concept of his 2006 book, "Religion Is Not About God," at the Beyond Belief Conference held in California in 2006. Rue is a philosopher and natural historian of cultures, and he is one of the leaders of both the scholarly endeavor to understand the evolutionary roots and functions of religion and the cultural movement to bring a mainstream understanding of "big history" (aka, the "epic of evolution") into prominence as a secular, religious, and moral resource.
