Death of the Gods

The "Death of the Gods" is a philosophical and cultural idea suggesting that traditional religious beliefs and divine authority have diminished or lost their influence in modern society. As scientific understanding and secular values have grown, belief in divine beings and supernatural explanations has declined, leading to a cultural shift where human experience and reason often replace divine intervention. This concept explores how societies redefine meaning, morality, and purpose without reliance on traditional gods, reflecting a transition from mythic and religious worldviews to rational and human-centered perspectives.
