Top Secret: The Truth Behind Today's Pop Mysticisms by Julia Sweeney, Robert M. Price
4.0
Dr. Price does what he does best--destroying silly beliefs with fact, dressed with a little snarkiness.
Though the cover shows only a handful of his victims, very few pop culture religious views escape Robert Price's ridicule. Kaballah, UFOs, Scientology, Osteen, Popoff, Wicca, sales gimmicks, et al. all receive a description and are reasonably put to the grave.
Price explains rationally why these pseudo-religions are bunk, how one can identify them, and where people can stick these ideas. Price is not really that harsh, and could have possibly been more destructive with these superstitions, but he's above that.
