I really enjoyed it until near the end, where there is a 62 or 63 page rant/speech, directed against (in a nutshell) religion...left a bad taste.

ALL of them?

If memory is correct (doubt it), it was leaning against belief in God, not any religion in particular. I’ll have to break out my copy and skim through that section again. I originally got so turned off by it I skimmed and skimmed and skimmed (it was a loooooong rant) to the end of the offending speech so I didn’t retain many details. My bad.
