For thousands of years, humans have believed in gods. We have built temples, written scriptures, performed rituals, and fought wars in their names. Faith has shaped civilizations, inspired compassion, and offered comfort in moments of despair. In Oh God! Swarali Kulkarni traces the remarkable journey of belief from prehistoric animism and ancient mythologies to the rise of modern religions revealing how human societies shaped religion and were shaped by it in return.

The book takes a closer look at questions such as: How early humans imagined the first gods? Why religions spread and shaped societies? How belief takes root in the human mind? And most importantly whether morality truly needs religion? This is not a book that tells you what to believe. It plants a thought: perhaps the time has come to revisit our faiths and beliefs with deeper inner reflection and greater wisdom.
