This book covers how to spot bias, evaluate sources, tell news from opinion, understand how algorithms shape your feed, recognize propaganda, and think critically about everything you read, watch, and share.

We hear about religious tensions in the news without understanding what's actually at stake. This book covers the major world religions-Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and more-explaining what they believe, how they practice, where they agree, where they differ, and why it matters even if you're not religious.

This book cuts through the noise.
