"God is Not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World", is the book we discuss in this episode. Its author, the religion scholar Stephen Prothero argues that persistent attempts to portray all religions as different paths to the same God is incorrect. Each religion wants to address different questions and provides different answers. If tolerance rests on the respect for difference, one must first acknowledge difference exists. Also, as history has proven, politics and religion have long been intertwined, so we decided it was worth discussing some historical episodes where religion was particularly influential in world politics.
