Author Grady Meanswho splits his time between Washington (DC) and Half Moon Bay (CA)is a self-described moderate Republican and life-long Catholic. He has been trained in business, philosophy, and engineering, and offers us a radical view of the spiritual needs of humans and the failure of religion to provide for those needs. His well-reasoned and logically presented arguments are certain to provoke deep thought and hot debate from people on all sides of contemporary religious and political spectra.
