I read this article today questioning the effectiveness and importance of organized religion. It’s a perennial question, but I see it being asked more and more (like in Lynnea’s post about Anne Rice). One of my favorite authors, Diana Butler Bass, is working on a new book about people who say they are “spiritual, but not religious.” I’m curious what others have to say on the subject.

This is from a few months ago, but I saw a link to it today…as if in rebuttal to the previous argument. Goes back to the idea of community that Lynnea and dvd commented on under the Spark post.
