It is certainly not easy for a person to be truly secular and good. The number of fanatics may be less than the number of secular persons in every religion, but most fanatics are extremely vocal, sometimes violent as well. Very few secular persons are vocal. The real tragedy is that most secular persons prefer to remain silent.
Is this a new book? Will look for it tomorrow, when I make the visit to return the library books and borrow some more. Seems very interesting.
Thanks for the nice introduction of this book.
Sounds like an interesting book, Renu.
Yes, I think that it's true that life has many roadblocks- even for people who are trying to do good......
The books sounds like a social reference.
