Synopsis :

What is this thing called “religion,” anyway?
What does it really mean to be “religious” or “secular”?
How can you be more religiously literate?

It’s Considerate to Be Literate about Religion is a book of poems and prose for all ages. These lyrical poems and engaging illustrations give each topic traction to get youth and adults reading right into the poems and on through the expansive “Learn More!” Sections that follow each poem.

In addition, a helpful introduction welcomes readers to the concept of religious literacy; a fulsome glossary defines terms; and a section of suggested further reading offers sources for those who want to learn more.
