This is pretty well-done overall, though the author shows some remarkable bias with his descriptions of some of the Eastern religions vs. some of the others.
I think the overall attempt is humour, look at the Loch Ness monster for a great example.
Oh I got that, it's just amusing that he goes out of his way to say good things about the moral concepts from Buddhism and Taoism in addition to the weird stuff, while the other religions just get the weird stuff.
