What Is Religion? Book

Socialist and agnostic, Mr. Sinclair has little good to say about religion, ancient or modern. He puts forth his social agenda in strong words and appeals to reason as the ultimate authority. He points out the worst in the churches and accuses all religion and religionists as the principle supporter(s) of keeping the poor and the wage-slave in their place. He pokes fun at every belief from Spiritualism to Mormonism (there he didn't get his facts entirely straight but I give him a B- for effort). His prophetic pronouncements on the future of Socialism didn't come to pass - he wasn't that great of a a prophet himself. But I think his heart was in the right place, wanting to lift people out of the grind of poverty and fear.
