Your are right on that point.
Another very good look on things is a recent book "The Battle for God" by Karen Armstrong.
Goes thru the history of the 3 main religions from 1492 to present.
History meaning how governments, wars, business, fundamentalism, etc, even the world's vocabulary were tied to these religions. Jewish conflicts, western culture vs east, how the hate began, who pushed when etc.
Very good definitions of the mythos vs logos - imagery over reason. Some good but Many bad things started to happen when sacred texts started to be read literally.
Published in 2000 Very timely & enlightning.
Great starter topics of conversation, especially the fundamentalism chapters, describing the control these sects have had on people over the centuries and how they operated, alot of hmmmmms
