Sample Book Insights:

#1 The major reason for the continuance of religious belief in a world that might otherwise have long moved beyond it is indoctrination of children before they reach the age of reason, along with all or some combination of social pressure to conform, social reinforcement of religious institutions and traditions, emotion, and ignorance.

#2 The distinction between religions and philosophies is important. religions are centered around belief in, worship of, and obedience to a deity or deities, while philosophies do not involve any of those things.

#3 All religions are superstitious, but not all superstitious people are religious. To generalize, most Chinese people are not religious, but they are very superstitious.

#4 A religion is defined as a belief in the existence of a god or gods and other beings outside of the universe who are connected to it in some significant way. The relation of these beings to the universe is significant.
