With you on the lack of religious mindset part, which is why books like these--or stories like The Exorcist--continue to fascinate me. Faith is a very human yearning/quality, as much so as imagination; that's one of the reason that proselytizing atheists and ultra-rationalists annoy me so much, because if you constantly reduce faith to a fantasy, it's sort of like you're saying all fantasy (my own included) is toxic, stupid and reductionist itself, and I will never be down with that, ever. Strangely.;)
