Is a "better" religion one that improves people's behaviour (pragmatists would say so!), or is a better religion one that is close to the truth (idealists, unite!)?
Religions that are appealing probably fit in the former category, whilst potentially dry and academic religions (and science) fit in the latter case. I reckon the 'masses' will nearly always hold dear religions that are mostly appealing and only secondarily accurate.
Most journals and blog sites are blocked by the very heavy firewall that exists in this country... but I just found that Vox works!
I will have normal internet access later this year.
