The Profits of Religion is a book by Upton Sinclair, first published in 1918, that critically analyzes the economic and social role of religion in the United States. Sinclair argues that religion is a tool of the ruling class to control the masses in order to maintain the status quo.

The Profits of Religion was a controversial book when first published. Sinclair was attacked by religious leaders and conservative critics who accused him of being an atheist and a communist. However, the book has been praised by many progressive thinkers as an invaluable contribution to the discussion of the role of religion in society.

The book is still relevant today because it continues to raise important questions about the relationship between religion and power. Sinclair's claims are still debated by scholars and activists, and his books continue to be read by those interested in the intersection of religion, economics and social justice.

Summary
The book is divided into three parts. The first part, ¡°Fundamentals of Religion,¡± examines the origins of religion and its role in early societies. Sinclair argues that religion was originally a way to explain the natural world and deal with the fear of death. However, he argues that religion was corrupted by a ruling class who used it to justify their power and privilege.

The second part, ¡°The Benefits of Religion,¡± examines the economic role of religion. Sinclair argues that religion is the main source of wealth and power for the ruling class. He cites the example of a religious organization that owns vast fortunes, controls major industries, and enjoys generous tax breaks. Sinclair argues that religion is used to justify exploitation of workers and the poor.

Part 3, ¡°The Future of Religion,¡± looks at the possibilities of a future without religion. Sinclair argues that religion is a relic of the past and is no longer needed in modern society. He suggests that we can replace religion with a new value system based on reason and compassion.
