"interesting. i appreciate the concepts he portrays in objectivity. it's interesting to learn how important and how frequently plausiblilty is challenged, and why religions today resemble small businesses, they've been selling out to each other in an attempt to modify their product for the masses.
most poignant, though, is how he nails people's height of secularism or decline in religious piety to the economy, when the economy is rolling smoothly, the people are not inclined to be faithfully attending to their religious activities. hm. so very interesting..."
"foundational book for the experienced believer but only to be read in tandem with Berger's "A Rumor of Angles" as well as a great teacher (like Richard Perkins at Houghton College). shows how much of religion is man-made but with faith this can be truth-enabling in believing God to be within this man-made culture of religion that attempts to express the Divine."

"thank god, finally someone to support my claims for my ISP! i really recommend this book if you are interested in religion from a sociological perspective. two caveats: i do not think "methodological atheism" is the best route to take within the academy, rather a "methodologically agnostic" approach. second, he is a sociologist primarily and so some of his examples of religions less familiar to him/the west are a little squiffy."
