Anyone know of a good reference book on world religions that?

includes some of the "newer" religions, such as Scientology, Wicca, and LaVeyan Satanism, as well as brief overviews of some of the old defunct ones like Greek Hellenistic polytheism and Native American Myths?

Any suggestions?

    There is no such thing as "native american myths". We don't have "myths". We have stories and histories. And we aren't "defunct". We are alive, still here, and the fastest growing ethnic group in America.

    you would be able to look at "the thank you to Be the appropriate Stranger: the essential non secular Etiquette training manual." it extremely is a artwork in 2 volumes, and it became into initially a e book on the thank you to act once you're in an unfamiliar non secular putting. It provides some fundamentals for many faiths; the 2d quantity has greater of greater modern-day religions. whilst it includes Greek myths, you're probable only going to would desire to examine them. As for community American mythology, it's going to rely on the tribe in which you're fascinated. Myths for NA tribes tend to be very localized; case in point, NA myths for the Pacific Northwest tend to have a great form of comments approximately offended mountains (the Cascadia volcanoes) and shaking earth (our many fault strains and quakes), mutually as mythology for different tribes is generally thoroughly distinctive, finding on the portion of the country they initially inhabited, and its actual and climatological constructive properties. Edit: Libraries are going to alter whether you (or I) like it or no longer. i like to envision, yet i'm additionally a realist. I even have Kindle application for my computing gadget, my telephone, and characteristic a stand-on my own Kindle gadget. i admire having all 3; i think they'll finally make awareness obtainable to MANY greater human beings than books ever did. they additionally do no longer kill timber to unfold their awareness, so on the completed, i think of they're very helpful. you may get the Kindle application on your computing gadget, cellular telephone, or non-Kindle pill for loose. Kindle books often fee much less, and you will't "lose" them by way of fact whether you by danger delete one, they're on Amazon's Cloud force, it extremely is nicely-respected. Your books would be a great way much less susceptible to fireside, flood, and different destructive aspects of trouble-free old getting old than books revealed on paper. And for the checklist, i do no longer artwork for or receive reimbursement from Amazon in any way, shape, or type. I only like their application and digital books.
