Book excerpt: Empiric facts indicate that there is not only a correlation but also a causality between religion and violence; one of the main topics of this book being how to reconcile the various world religions with mainstream ethics. In addition the author addresses delicate topics connected to religous culture, such as Modern Islam, sexuality, LGBT Rights, civil liberties, freedom of expression, gender equality, emotional intelligence and open-mindedness; providing innovative thoughts and suggestions on these matters. But this book does not only tackle the shortcomings of religions. Embarking on a great mystic quest, Mark O'Doherty also explores the great merits of the world religions; from which we can learn and evolve - on an individual as well as on a collective level - blending Arabic, African, Western, Indian and Chinese spirituality into one new way of life, by advocating a tolerance of ambiguity, harmony and love.
