James,
I came across your site while reviewing the Wilberforces. Thanks for your efforts. I am not so sophisticated a writer but I have written on a number of subjects over the years-creation/evolution, medical ethics, archaeology, and theology. They are within the website listed below. As well, I did biomedical research in Australia (Melbourne) from 1981-1985, It was a memorable experience. I still would have a 4 and Twenty Pie if I could, although I never quite acquired the taste for Vegemite. I really enjoyed Cricket and Aussie Rules Football and Rugby.

I wonder if religion as a marginal social activity is worth all this attention?
Whether it’s marginal or not, religion remains a fascinating element of human nature.
Religion may be marginal as a social activity, but it is tied to politics, economy, culture, and many forms of systems of (power) relations in our world. It is also the life-giving material to literature. I doubt if any one should mistake religion as marginally relevant to our society today.
