520 _aIn an effort to help those who've been hurt by or turned off by negative religion, Thielen explains that there is an alternative to abandoning religion: good religion. Personal stories illustrate the dangers of religion that is judgmental, anti-intellectual, and legalistic. Thielen provides counterparts to the characteristics of bad religion, explaining that good religion is grace-filled, promotes love and forgiveness, and is inclusive and hope-filled.
