I am aware that critics of religion can be attacked for failing tocredit the fertile diversity of traditions and world-views that havebeen called religious. Anthropologically informed works, from SirJames Frazer's Golden Bough to Pascal Boyer's Religion Explainedor Scott Atran's In Gods We Trust, fascinatingly document thebizarre phenomenology of superstition and ritual. Read such booksand marvel at the richness of human gullibility.
