I enjoyed reading this book, the similarities between all of the different religions was quite striking.

I heard Guy Harrison being interviewd on a podcast (SGU, I think?) about this book.

Have you read "religion explained"? It's a fantastic examination of why people believe in religion

As a matter of fact, I have. I had a friend recommend it to me a few years back. It was required reading for and anthropology course he was taking at Brandeis. Boyer's book, along with the one I brought up as a topic and Dawkin's "God Delusion" round out my top three must-read books on religion.
