Is this book equally suitable for anyone with any religious beliefs?

Because author has explained it by logical reasoning based on science so this book is equally valid for all types of religions. Science is universal truth by which no one can deny.

I am a Hindu and had doubts about the concept of a 'punishing God'. That is taught to kids early on. There are beliefs that if you don't follow certain rituals some evil will befall on you. I realised that I don't want to believe that. I have always believed that God is a forgiving, loving force.

The author's belief that God is a rational Supreme being resonates with what I come to conclude and believe after reading many a Hindu religious scriptures.

So I don't think this book is restricted only to Christians, it has an audience in people from different faith. Like in Hinduism and Christianity, the learnings of other religions also have also been corrupted over the years with the purpose of creating fear and awe. This book is for all those who would want to look at their God without the religious glasses.

I think the book is intended for readers with open minds and therefore does not single out any particular religious belief. The author does not dictate anything to her readers and lets them figure out things by themselves, in turn the readers should also be accepting the fact that not everything they will be reading is going to be favoring a specific belief.

I agree completely. Though the author is Christian, the reader doesn't have to be in order to enjoy this book.

It must be suitable for everyone since it's based on scientific concepts. It suggests different perspectives and notions which I think should be equally accepted by all religions.

The manner of approach makes it suitable for every religion. Because it's written from a scientific aspect, one can relate it to his/her individual belief. So, it doesn't matter if you're Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, or Christian, this will suit you.

I believe one has to be open-minded to a certain degree about religion to entertain the theories the author explored regarding God and religion. Devouts of any religious orientation might find the content offensive bordering on blasphemous.

Applying my own views on the subject gleaned from my studies, I believe this book is trying to dissuade the reader from traditional religious views into more perceived humanistic and progressive views.

Considering that context, is this book suitable for anyone? Or would this be targeted to a particular audience with particular religious beliefs?

I think that as long as different beliefs are discussed it shouldn't be a problem. As long as the author is not trying to push the reader towards a specific belief, or elaborately explain details of a specific belief, it should be suitable for anyone. I think the more important criteria is whether the reader is interested in this type of knowledge or not.

The author has read about few other religions, but seemingly he doesn't have a thorough knowledge in them. So the facts that he has stated might probably either offended or bewildered the ones from religions other than Catholicism. But for the religions in which the presence of a God is accepted, this book will be appealing

It should be read with an open mind and the information taken as a learning experience to many different religious beliefs and science based academia, spanning a spectrum of many individuals understanding and belief system.

If you read this in an open mind and the idea of grabbing some additional knowledge, then the book will be oky for you. But for the ones who have solid roots either in the side of religion or science, this book won't be much appealing since it doesn't support either side

Yes, science is not everyone's cup of tea. So either you should have some scientific background or some liking for it to tolerate this book. On the other hand, you can't have any solid thoughts on your religious beliefs since those thoughts can be challenged by this book

I don't think that quantum physics is everyone's subject. Some people like science but some don't. And some don't like when their religious beliefs are being challenged. So in my opinion, this book doesn't suit everyone

I believe that when a book sets your mind into turmoil because of trying to make sense out of what the author is trying to put across, it definitely should be read by everyone so as to spark those intellectual discussions and debates.

That is quite acceptable. When your beliefs are being challenged you tend to think over and it will either refresh what you know or let you learn new things. But unless you are open minded, such challenges will make you feel offended, and so will this book too

I think the book is suitable for reader of all religions. One only needs to keep an open mind and they will see the core principles overlap between different religions.
