Book Description
Publication Date: October 17, 2009
This book is ecumenical, interreligious, and metareligious in nature.
It may have a provocative title, but it is the subtitle that says what
the book is really about. The book is not simply an attack on
religion, but offers ideas for improving religion, any religion. It
defines what makes a true religion, in the most positive meaning of
the term, and what makes a cult, in the most negative meaning. Rather
than just pointing fingers, however, the book introduces the six
criteria that make a religion, even a minority religion a true
religion, and these ideas can be used to improve every religion by its
believers, or by those who are priests, monks, rabbis, mullahs,
religious people of any kind, or theologians. This book is for
everyone, with religious ideas applicable to all religions, even Islam
- in fact, the author justifies the applicability and necessity of the
book by citing both the Qur'an and Muhammad. This book can increase or
promote interreligious dialogue, and in a way that does not offend
anyone in particular. It could also give new lustre to all religions
with followers and clergy with an open mind.

ResearchGate Indian Philosophy:
Sometimes ago, I mentioned my prof. Fang Dongmei's statement that the

think that context is Zen Buddhism, as explained by his student Ven.

@ Pavan: Your statement of not getting on any side seems contradictory because you take a reductionist point of view.
