God is Back, a book review reviewed

The Gnu News is that we are free to discuss this book review (New York Times ) and all references to God Is Back.
The title is good. It implies that, to many, God has become real or at a minimum, relevant. John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge have written a book that captures the modern view of the church as a group of like-minded worshipers. God is back in a major role in the lives of those in the mega-church.
They give credit to America for the spread of worshiping God from a historical perspective. We quote, "The Americans led the way by becoming both “the quintessentially modern country” and a very devout one..."
The review referred to Rick Waren's book; The Purpose Driven Life as an example of the drive in modern mega-churches, and are following the "can do ethics" of American capitalism. Again we quote from the article, "The surge of religion was “driven by the same forces driving the success of market capitalism: competition and choice.”
Without a doubt, there is a wide view today toward "religion". This review opens up an opportunity to explore, and to develop our world view, be it theistic or atheist.

GNU NEWS RETURNS

Gun News continues after a long productive period in other venues. Looking forward to "staying in country" for awhile now. Fellow blog persons will be contacted again, and we will let the visiting begin anew.

A new book is being edited and should be released in three or four months. More on that in later blogs. Mean while, back at the ranch, we can comment on book reviews - like this one.

(NYT), "God is Back", (Did He ever leave?) My question; you may have others.

What is your opinion of this review? It is fun, and informative to review a review. From time to time, we will open the blog to guest speakers, that is always a good thing. Comments continue to be welcome and encouraged as usual. Yes, we have a blog nanny, so be nice.

Remember our editor-in-chief's advice; GNU NEWS is always GOOD NEWS.
