3.0

Arnold admits that he is an atheist, but doesn't admit that what he is really searching for in medieval culture is atheism. This rather skews his argument, because he can't really find atheism. He would have been better off examining ways of unbelief. However, his structural-functionalist approach to religion does lead to some interesting observations about medieval religion.
