The God Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture by Darrel W. Ray

4.0

I was a little miffed with how this book started, mainly because it felt like it was over emphasizing the similarities of the book's premise by repeating the position every other sentence. It looked like the perfect tool for those angry at the beginning of their 'awakening'. I felt like it would incite the same type of zealotry seen in the far right behaviors of others.
Thankfully, that emphasis subsided and the real meat began taking form. It's a great book. One more on psychology and the mechanics of how such systems work. Some of the topics are intuitive but it helps to explain more of the 'why' that may have eluded readers in their observations.
A worthwhile challenge and an illuminating read.
