Armstrong religious views about God
Karen Armstrong does not renounce the belief in God.

Her approach to religion and spirituality involves a broad, inclusive perspective that seeks to promote understanding and compassion across different faith traditions.
When it comes to the Christian views, she does not denounce the belief in the God of the Bible. Instead, she has written extensively on the history and interpretations of the Bible, offering nuanced perspectives on its significance within the context of religious and cultural development. Her approach involves engaging with the complexities of religious texts and traditions, seeking to promote understanding and dialogue rather than denunciation.
