I checked out on the net some of the presented information in a few of these essays that were most questionable to me such as the Jesus-Buddha mythology and the yoni art designs incorporated in Catholic church art. Sure enough, these parallels exist. While his writing style and argument approach aren't going to win adherents from believers and certainly will piss off some true atheists, his essays will make you think. I recommend buying a used copy and spending a few hours in a coffee shop. Its a quick read.
