In response to host Rich Leigh’s question about whether religion hinders human progress, Cox wholeheartedly concurred.

According to Cox, religion can hinder our progress because it relies on belief systems that exist outside of ourselves. Instead of focusing on our own identities and experiences, we become preoccupied with following the rules and commands dictated by a higher power. Cox suggests that the concept of God is something we have created, and it serves as a means of control and a reflection of patriarchal values.

Why Brian Cox thinks the Bible is โ€˜one of the worst books everโ€™

Cox criticized the role of religion in perpetuating gender inequality, using the Christian parable of Adam and Eve as an example.

“We must acknowledge and respect women, and ensure they are given the recognition they deserve. Unfortunately, society has been resistant to this idea due to traditional beliefs rooted in the story of Adam and Eve. The influence of this narrative can be traced back to ancient times,” Cox expressed. “From my perspective, the Bible, despite its significance to many, is one of the most problematic books ever written.”

“People believe the idea that a woman was created out of Adam’s rib because they are foolish enough to do so.”

Cox recognized that individuals may seek solace in religion for spiritual guidance, but he expressed discontent with the inherent principles of religious ideology.

“They require it, but there’s no need to deceive them,” Cox expressed. “They seek some form of truth, and that certainly isn’t it… It’s nothing more than a myth.”

Brian Cox on role of religion in Israel-Hamas conflict

Cox delved into the role of religion in the devastating conflict in the Middle East, particularly focusing on the Israel-Hamas war and its profound consequences for the Gaza region.

According to the Scottish actor, he doesn’t hold much hope that the turmoil will ever completely subside due to deep-rooted belief systems.

According to Cox, the belief in a higher power that takes care of us all, commonly known as God, is a misconception. He emphasizes that instead of constantly seeking answers externally, it is crucial for us to turn our focus inward and reflect on our own selves. Cox believes that self-examination is a fundamental aspect that often goes overlooked in our lives.
