From http://www.religioustolerance.org/
Allan W. Janssen has published: "The Plain truth About God-101 (what the church doesn't want you to know)" on his web site and at Amazon.com .
God-101 presents a fascinating insight into how the original “cult” teachings of Jesus were overlaid with Greek philosophy, Pagan beliefs and Pauline thought to become the sayings of “Christ” and the basis of our modern Bible.
God-101 gives an analysis of how the “priesthood” has corrupted Christianity and the other major religions. It shows how “Dogma” has led to the polarization of different sects within the same religions,(Catholic/Protestant – Shiite/Sunni) and how religious strife affects society as a whole, including the upcoming world - wide clash between Christianity and Islam!
The book can be reviewed at http://www.God-101.com or

I found the whole book fascinating. Right from the early history of religion and spirituality to the formation of the world religions.
I especially liked the analysis Mr. Janssen provides on the rise of the "priesthood" and how they twisted religion to suite their own ends.
His analysis of Christianity and Islam are paticularily insightfull and eye-opening.
Altogether a delightfull and informative read!
