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 Anne’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 Anne and dvd commented on under the Spark post.
