Share on LinkedIn Share on Whatsapp Share on Telegram Yann Martel Quote - Religion is just an alternate way of reading reality – you read material reality, and then you add on an extra layer of religiosity that deepens that understanding of reality.

In a book, your imagination will do the acting for you. Also, the process of revelation is often different. Tension is achieved in a different way.
