"It is important to realize that religion is not an independent entity. Rather, it is a small part of a society’s overarching structure and culture. If the scale on which Catholicism and Islam are practiced is to be changed, or the relations between different schools of thought are to be significantly improved, alterations in the fundamental aspects of the cultures themselves must first be made." -- good article. I question the word 'small' in this closing paragraph. Religion is part of a society's structure and varies from small to large in size and importance depending on the society and individuals in the society.
