Query: Thought-provoking essays

This is a collection of intellectually stimulating and thought-provoking essays from an erudite British journalist. The title is somewhat misleading. While Grayling explores religion, he looks at many other topics as well. Unlike so many contemporary American writers, Grayling does not rely on personal attacks, name-calling or scorched-earth tactics -- yet the reader always knows where he stands. I have only one complaint about this book: Grayling endorses mandatory voting in America. This indicates he's more than a little out of touch with American popular culture. Overall, however, the book is a gem. Read it when you yearn for something more than just another right-wing or left-wing screed.
