from old to new to old again

I'm reading Clark Strand's new book 'How to Believe in God' - and it's a breath of fresh air. His style is sincere and personal, his insights and ideas brave and advanced leaving me, the reader, feeling more open. The book came out of a group with two ground rules: to be able to ask questions about the bible and not to discard or reject anything.
They are great rules but not everyone can do both and there isn't really a need to do both - on the other hand, it seems like this is something that one would do if one had faith or belief in God. And this really takes us into the heart of a spiritual journey.

"If you cannot pray sincerely, offer your dry, hypocritical, agnostic prayer, for God in His mercy accepts bad coin."
Not sure about his iReligion idea but the conversation about the relationship between spirituality and religion is much needed.
