Av og til dukker det opp betraktninger rundt religion i skjønnlitterære bøker.
Jeg fant nettopp en slik en i en amerikansk science fiction-bok, A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor av Hank Green. Den får sagt noe kort og greit om hva mange, delvis også jeg, ser på som negativt og positivt med religion. Side 68:
For me, it goes without saying that much of the dogma of many religions is harmful. Thinking other people will burn forever because they love the wrong person or worship the wrong god has done a whole lot of bad.
What I wanted was the part where people were asked to get together once a week to talk about how to be a good person and, like, hang out with their neighbours.
