Religious books are well known for presenting wise sayings and in the past they have guided the thinking of whole societies.

It has been almost forgotten, even in the Church, that the Bible contains a large amount of proverbs and other types of wisdom writing.

Once again, we have that problem with the italics. I know I didn't put it in the title; but, there it is.
