Karen Armstrong on the incorrect conflation of religion and violence

Karen Armstrong has a new book out too.  Warning, this is a seriously long article apparently based on the new book.  An interesting take on the history of the development of secularism by, one should note, a writer on comparative religion who perhaps has her own slant.  If you're willing to invest the time reading this, you may learn something yourself.  As always, skepticism is an appropriate stance.
