Karen Armstrong is highly respected by academia and is touted as an authority on multiculturalism. Armstrong states in our textbooks that religion is manmade. Her credentials include quitting a convent where she said she aspired to be a saint, but found it difficult because she (laughingly said), "couldn’t keep my mind focused on God for more than two minutes" and felt prayer was impossible. So she set out to prove conclusively that Christianity is "bonkers" and applauds Islam. In response to criticism, Houghton Mifflin shortly boasted of its newest textbook, "Modern World History, Patterns of Interaction."  But on page 627, Karen Armstrong is applauded for her explanation as to why religion is such a powerful force in people's lives.  She is quoted, "Human beings are spiritual animals...Men and women started to worship gods as soon as they became recognizably human; they created religions at the same time they created works of art."  (see full text )  "Like art, religion has been an attempt to find meaning and value in life..." Karen Armstrong, an atheist, clearly has no relationship with any god.  She may study the rituals of others but without the relationship, there is no "religion" and she attempts to redefine the word for a secular understanding. It is emptiness which is all an atheist knows. This does NOT qualify her to teach "religion" to my sons, nor to be validated by Houghton Mifflin to explain my faith or anyone else's.  An atheist can only give their empty views from the outside looking in.  (and we INVITE them in at all times) BACK  TO  BLESSEDCAUSE  HOME
