Christianity. A religion that has spread across the globe with many followers to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and still to this day it's getting bigger. I like that the authors addressed the difficulty of addressing the topic and made a point that I think is important is how "religion present themselves as timeless, partaking of eternity or at least ancient practice (195)." I do think that religion changes within time. For example from personal experience with my denomination. I attend a very traditional Tongan (Church of Tonga Houeiki, 1920) church and after couple years; members of the church branched out to form another church where the rules, and roles aren't so strict.
