What You Don't Know about Religion (but Should)

By: Ryan T. Cragun

Narrated by: Ryan T. Cragun

What is a religion? Why are people religious? Are religious people more educated than nonreligious people? Are religious people more moral, more humble, or happier? Are religious people more or less prejudiced than nonreligious people? Is religion good for your health? Are people becoming more or less religious?

Studying religion as a social phenomenon, Ryan T. Cragun follows the scientific data to provide answers to these and other questions. At times irreverent, but always engaging and illuminating, What You Don't Know about Religion (but Should) is for all those who have ever wondered whether religion helps or hurts society - or questioned what the future holds for religion.

Highly Recommended

It was a very good listen. Yes the author is very educated and presents the information in layman terms. I am a social worker and understood the it with no problem. This book can be recommend to my clients who are interested.

Great scientifically researched book

Author clearly is well educated in this area and has thoroughly researched the topic.
I recommend this book for those questioning religion.

Good info but low energy

I believe the information presented is good but I'm finding it difficult to stay focused on the readers incredibly low energy reading of the material. I would like to have heard a more enthusiastic reader to keep me engaged listening

Good book

I enjoyed reading this book and learned a lot of new information about religion and the statistics involved. I would highly recommend this book to others.

Learned A Lot

There was very little I disagreed with in this book in terms of the reasoning and opinion. The statistics were informative and have already proven useful in discussions with religious people. I liked the author's full disclosure of biases. Definitely recommend.
