    Ehh, I’m gonna push back and say that, as a lifelong atheist, I have greatly enjoyed reading books on Jesus and the early church. But I’m also a history nerd, so I enjoy stuff from other times already.

    Religion is still dumb and makes people hate each other but the books are entertaining regardless.

      Sure. There is value in studying religion in the context of history, sociology or philosophy. But to me that is distinct from theology.
