What if humanity never imagined the divine?
What if we never told stories to explain fear, never built temples instead of schools, never bowed to anything we couldn't question?
In The Civilization That Never Knelt, Glenn Davies reimagines a parallel timeline - a world that evolved without religion. Through vivid, speculative chapters, this bold novel explores what might have emerged if curiosity had triumphed over worship, if morality was shaped by empathy instead of commandment, and if humanity had chosen inquiry over illusion.
This is not a utopia. It is a possibility.
And in reading it, you may not feel triumph - but grief for the version of us that never came to be.
For readers of Sapiens, 1984, and The Dawn of Everything, this is a provocative blend of fiction, philosophy, and historical reimagining - for those unafraid to ask:
What did belief replace? And what was lost when we knelt?
