A broad surveyFollowers of the revealed religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, to name the great three – broadly fall into two categories according to their beliefs, regardless of their professed religion, sect and subsect. Judging from these adherents then, it wouldn’t be too far off the mark to claim that in the ultimate analysis there are only two revealed religions. According to one religion, to reason in religious matters is dangerous because it can lead one astray. According to the other religion, the meaning derived from any verse cannot be indifferent to the text, or it’s just another opinion. According to one religion, some actions and beliefs are punishable because they are on an arbitrary list entitled ‘sins’.
