Religion has gotten a bad name, maybe because it's often mixed with 
politics.  However, spiritual matters are wired into the human brain, and 
they continue to be important.

We can't explain the sun.  We have more information about it than we did 
hundreds of years ago, but we have no idea how it got there.

Religion is overcomplicated and often promises what it can't deliver.  
However, spiritual understanding can still broaden your life.  Jon has found 
a system that makes him happy, but others have found other solutions.  If
