The only issue I had was that ‘God’ is not isolated to the big three. Christian, Hebew and Islam. Each religion together and separate are a magnificent study of mankind.
BUT…
I question, what about the older gods. Early hunter gatherer tribes based their Gods on a sort of Gaia [mother God]. What about the Aztec’s, Mayan’s and so many tribes across Africa and the Americas.
At the same time if Ms Armstrong did, in order to be fair and give creedence to each and every religion would fill an encyclopedia 10 times 10 times over.
In good conscence I would neither ask not expect that.
Over all, it was a good, if complicated read.
Live in Joy and Honor.
