I read an interesting article the other day on how both science and religion rely on faith, and both have concepts that are taken as dogma that started out as an idea rather than actual truth, but people assume that they are cannon/proved. It was very interesting, and showed that science and religion are a lot closer than most people would like to admit.
I haven't read Divergent, but I did suffer my way through Heroes of Olympus. It was bad. I liked the Percy Jackson series, but everything Riordan has done after that has been slight variations on a theme, but not nearly as funny and with random poorly written romance sections that are a waste of space. I'm mad, because he is now doing a Scandanavian mythology series, and now every pre-teen, wannabe nerd, and fanboy/girl will suddenly consider themselves experts on what I have been into since fourth grade.
That being said, if you like the general modern myth premise, Loki's Wolves was pretty good (I can't remember the series name at the moment).
Sermon over.
