There was an interesting little snippet I heard the other day, it was something like "the idea that Religions are things to do that improve ones life puts it in the self-help section of the bookshop." The answer to that I'm more foggy on but its something like "religion is something we are called to do, it's not a shelf in a bookstore or something to be bought into. It's the entire bookstore and it's the city the store is in."

More appropriately, Religion is the rent-seeking landlord of the bookshop who skims all the profits, provides little to no value, and takes all the credit for the literacy of the townsfolk.
