Just don't let thoughts of anti-fanaticism stop you from your own pursuit of wisdom and what is right.
Reading any particular book does not make one religious and it certainly does not make one part of any religion.
It only makes you a seeker of wisdom and knowledge.
More often than not people tend to confuse these thoughts and toss aside potential wisdom saying it is religion.
The definition of Religion by the Webster dictionary:
Main Entry: re•li•gion
Pronunciation: ri-'li-j&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English religioun, from Latin religion-, religio supernatural constraint, sanction, religious practice, perhaps from religare to restrain, tie back -- more at RELY
1 a : the state of a religious <a nun in her 20th year of religion> b (1) : the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2) : commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance
2 : a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
3 archaic : scrupulous conformity : CONSCIENTIOUSNESS
4 : a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith
Nowhere in these definitions does it say reading any particular book makes one religious.
Just more Spiritual food for thought.
