medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

I'd also argue that for the overwhelming majority of people religion is a means of justifying their (fill in the blank) and nothing more. In spite of the advance of
the various "good will religions" ranging from Buddhism to Christianity, the "love of neighbor" that they preach seems to fall on very rocky ground indeed.
