B&N

It's bad enough that Barnes and Noble mixes books of theology in with academic studies of religion (which in itself betrays a profound lack of discrimination), but why do they insist on putting their religion section right next to their new age section? Would people looking for a book about the Talmud really have an interest in Tarot cards? Do people who believe in astrology care that Kambiz Ghaneabassiri recently published an excellent book about the history of Islam in America? Seriously.
