Avatar-Philosophy (and Religion) or FAITHEISM

Faitheism is a new word coined by the author, an atheist who rejects the approach of the best-known proponents in dismissing not only the historical record of traditional religions but also the potential of faith itself as an attitude. The book explores the idea of an avatar on the basis of James Cameron's film. This involves bringing imagination back into our lives and the courage to live out the human predicament. He also encourages people to join different religious celebrations. He suggests that faith has to be performed as a myth in real-time, a drama in progress where we all play our avatar parts, very different from the archetypes of Christ and Krishna.
