God's Funeral: A Study of the Rise and Fall of Modern Belief by A.N. Wilson explores the intellectual and cultural shifts that led to the decline of religious faith in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Drawing from the works of influential figures such as Darwin, Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud, Wilson examines how scientific discoveries, philosophical skepticism, and social changes challenged traditional religious beliefs. The book delves into the profound impact of these developments on Western thought and culture, reflecting on the personal and societal consequences of a world grappling with the loss of faith.
