I received criticisms, remarks from a friend on this topic. He is friendly, often writes in newspapers on this topic. As he is writing for general public; I expect him to bring more content.

I wanted this person to give a more serious, thoughtful understanding of religion. Apparently, he gave usual popular internet arguments or opinions on Religion.

I mean, I wanted him to put more effort in educating himself, having a thoughtful response. He's on his way to get a PhD.

It would be beneficial for a discussion, rather than saying,
"Religion is a tool, used to control people."

This does not discredit the idea of God (genetic fallacy). I shared this book, so he can go through different religions and be more informed.

Hinduism was most interesting to me. I wish more people would talk about religion openly, rather than cower.

The Book is a survey of religious ideas.

I think, this would be have much better if Religious ideas were more systematized or hierarchical.
I was thinking, a lot of religious groups treat each other with disdain. Wish, there was a book that would give how each religion view each other throughout centuries.

I would recommend this to anyone, who wants to go through a concise description of religions of humanity

In doing so, it considers key issues such as the problem of defining good and evil, the significance of suffering, creation and the afterlife. . ."… (meer)
