What if the Bible and the Qur'an are works of political propaganda created by Taliban-like fundamentalists to justify the sort of religious violence we are witnessing in the world today? What if there is a big idea that could free us from the us-versus-them world created by religion and make it possible for us to truly love our neighbors—and even our enemies?

 Rating:  - The Laughing JesusIf you saw and loved Bill Maher's new documentary "Religulous," you will love all the books of Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy.

It explains the Da Vinci code and the real reason there can't be a "Lost Tomb of Jesus". Rating: - A must-read book!I won't provide a summary of the book's content and key messages, as other reviewers have done that very well. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in religion and/or the mystery of life. If you read this book with an open mind (i.e. not as a stout religious person) you'll likely conclude that the literalist religions are a dreadful lie.
