GOD is not ONE - Stephen Prothero

Book review
The eight rival religions that run the world -- and why their differences matter.

There is a push in today's society to group the religions into one and gloss over the differences.  All religions want us to treat each other nicely and if we do we will go to a good place when we die and if not, well you know.

The book is a good reference and explains the differences well.  It is a hard book to read because of the religious technical words that are used.

I really did not get a feel from the author on "why the differences matter" but I did get an understand of the eight major religions of today's world.  For those that want this level of understanding, it is a good read.
