[Madeleine Lesieutre · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a good overview of the essentials of each religion (judging from the "Christianity" chapter), and found the first chapter, "Secular Humanism," to be an intriguing addition.

Although, I don't think the editors were entirely fair to Islam (Why would you include a piece from Osama bin Laden, condoning violence, when you claim to be representing what is beautiful in each religion?).
