   I would like to recommend a helpful book on this topic: “Religion Gone Astray” written by Pastor Don Mackenzie, Rabbi Ted Falcon, and Imam Jamal Rahman. The authors, known as the “Interfaith Amigos,” probe more deeply into the problem aspects of our religious institutions to provide a profound understanding of the nature of what divides us. They identify four common problem areas in the Abrahamic faiths: Exclusivity, Violence, Inequality of Men and Women, and Homophobia. They explore the origins of these issues and the ways critics use these beliefs as divisive weapons. And they present ways we can use these vulnerabilities to open doors for the collaboration required to address our common issues, more profound personal relationships, and true interfaith healing. The three authors have appeared in a couple of TED Talks. Search for “Interfaith Amigos”… Peace to you all.
