I think that Carl Sagan put it best in the Demon Haunted World when he talks about his number one beef with religion being its inability or unwillingness to ever try and prove itself wrong. Find me a book where someone explores the faults of religion but still exposes the good it can do.

Basically not looking for a book that will bash it, but not one that glorifies it, a neutral stand point. Specific religion doesn't matter, but the more included the better.
I'd go with the Master and Margarita by Bulgakov. My all time favorite book. He kept it hidden from Stalin for 50 years. A very cinematic read.. critiques everything but in a very fictional manner.
