Well, i know most people know that religion is more than the sacred texts, mixed with culture , but it doesnt stop them from defending their religion... I mean, if one hs to defend religion, you might as well defend all religions. people in my class , they might have a sound sociological historical understanding of things, but if it comes to  criticism of Hinduism exceeding a certain small limit they become touchy... Plus i hate how its all around.. Esp where i live, sort of alienates me...

Here in Europe we usually speak of the three book religions, meaning Jews, Christians, Muslims. I guess we all more or less know that the religion we were born into did not come into effect with the book being read to us but with a life style that can be explained by our long history described in the books. Of course there was meaningful life before and after the fixation of certain narratives in the books, but controlling the other or excercising power over the other is easier when you can define what the same page is you want others to be on. What about religion is you don't like?
