Trent Maxey, Professor at Amhurst College and author of the book, "The Greatest Problem" describes the amorphous nature of Shinto, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam in connection with culture, economics, violence, and modernity. He questions the usual categories under which religion, east and west, is perceived and points to our continual enmeshment in religious-like issues such as capitalism and nationalism.
