What reading level is What is Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

No differentiation into male and female was made. It was apparently owing to Moses that when he welded the Israelitish tribes into a nation none of the tribal gods was allowed to remain. Then when Israel conquered Canaan no change of belief, on the whole, took place. The gods of Baal belonging to the conquered tribes were not worshipped with Jehovah, although it is true that Jehovah was often worshipped under the form and name of Baal. All this did not happen without struggle and opposition. Ki...ng Ahab attempted, in honour of his Syrian wife Jezebel, to introduce the worship of Baal along- side the worship of Jehovah. We see here that already the power of a religious pro- phetical personality of the noblest kind was exercising an influence in the religious history of Israel. Elijah fought the one in opposition to the many — for the one God of Israel. It was at this time that it was written of Jehovah, " The name of Jehovah is jealousy. He is a jealous God. " The less important successors of Elijah no longer conducted the struggle with the weapons of the Spirit ; by treachery and the sword they extirpated a clan cast out for its strange religious leanings.
