Watch Zeitgeist. Settle all arguments, Documentary. Fantastic. Peter will back me up on it too. First Chapter - God. Then them Towers in US. Then the Banks or something, being a while since I watched it, but would sit through an hours work again.

I am aware that critics of religion can be attacked for failing to credit the fertile diversity of traditions and world-views that have been called religions. Anthropologically informed worked from Sir James Frazer's Golden Bough to Pascal Boyer's Religion Explained or Scott Atran's In Gods We Trust, fascinatingly document the bizarre phenomenology of superstition and ritual.
Just 2 random passages. There are much much harder ones to read but I can't be bothered to read over it all again.The net, or magisterium, of science covers the empirical realm: what is the universe made of and why does it work this way. The magisterium of religion extends over questions of ultimate meaning and moral value. These two magisteria do not overlap, nor do they encompass all inquiry. To cite the old cliche's, science gets the age of rocks, religion the rock of ages; science studies how the heavens go, religion how to go to heaven.

Re: Any Christians?
I think things are easier to read though when you read them in context.
You said yourself they are random exerts. That doesn't really help with difficult reading
I can't read random stuff like that at all. If im honest I probably couldn't read the book, too many complicated words in there lol.
