    Same. When I finally read The Demon Haunted World 20 years after it came out I was so angry at my Focus On the Family “Carl Sagan is a passive satanist” parents for telling me not to read it when it came out.

        It’s basically about using critical thinking, skepticism, and scientific methods to help make life decisions and not be taken in by false ideas. The full title is “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark”
