a successful insight into religions

As morality is widely understood as sexual practices in various religions, this work provides the reader with a successful insight into the views of different religions throughout the world. The writer doesnot use a rival approach, he tries to make the reader understand the reason behind certain practices and therefore the reader can use this book to widen his scope of the world cultures and as a stepping stone to a more detailed reading in the subject. As you read you come to understand that sexual practices incorporated in religious rules arise generally from the need to reproduce and to protect the child in a world full of hazards for the weak. You also understand that regarding the woman as inferior is a practice deeply rooted in the world's cultures through centuries, and that the enlightenment of today may only be an initial step for women in a struggle to be regarded as equals.I highly recommend this book to people curious about what is going on in the world, and why.
