The Philosophy of Peanuts

When we think of religion we don't think of Snoopy - the cartoon beagle in the 'Peanuts' strip. It's hard to believe the cartoon characters - Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy and the rest of the Peanuts gang, were created nearly 70 years ago by Charles Schultz.

In a new book, "A Charlie Brown Religion", Stephen J Lind explores one of the topics Schulz laced throughout the cartoons - religion.
