7. No. It's about religion.

One of my favorite quotes (of many from the Preface): "Jesus's teaching has nothing to do with miracles. If his mission had been simply to demonstrate a new method of restoring lost eyesight, the miracle of curing the blind would have been entirely relevant. But to say "You should love your enemies; and to convince you of this I will now proceed to cure this gentleman of cataract" would have been, to a man of Jesus's intelligence, the proposition of an idiot."

Please note that I am neither Christian, Jew ror Muslim and I find this to be one of the best writings on religion that I have read.
