I scorned that idea at first, but now I see that there actually are new books being written that might serve the same purpose even better. Those are books written by weaving verses from the scriptures of one religion or another into some of the best knowledge and wisdom for living, from all sources. I know that many Christians, possibly most, get their ideas about how to practice their religion more from those books than from reading the Bible, and after a little searching on the Internet I feel safe in saying that the same is true in other religions.
I strongly disagree with

This must come from the religions. The religions are the ones that can brainwash, make their flock feel guilty or afraid or hellbound whatever. The religious books are the ones the future generations are going to pick up and read from. A radical can sneer at these books as revisionist rubbish, but with his own holy book, now revised to include liberal takes on the extreme verses, from all other religions, under the watchful eye of a liberal court, he can protest but will just be seen for what he is a radical first!
