Hector A. Garcia's Alpha God examines the psychological and evolutionary foundations of religious violence and oppression. It draws parallels between human behavior, primal dominance hierarchies, and religious ideologies, exploring how these factors contribute to extremism and conflict. The book highlights the role of gender and power dynamics within religious systems while offering strategies for fostering peace, coexistence, and interfaith understanding. By combining psychological, sociological, and cultural analysis, it provides a compelling framework for addressing the roots of radicalization and promoting rehabilitation.
