This book is not intended to convert a rabbi, imam, monsignor, or anyone firmly entrenched in their religious beliefs. Most people are raised with a religious bias, being indoctrinated since he or she was a toddler. Many people, at some point in their lives, begin to question tenets they have been asked to believe since they can ever remember. This book is directed to those inquiring minds that are searching for answers to questions that won'y go away, but for which reasonable answers have not been forthcoming. This book offers information and alternative thought processes that may offer help to those inquiring minds regarding the history of religion, the authenticity of their religious texts, the reasons why organized religion has been unsuccessful in achieving world peace, and how it possibly can.
