A War of Gifts: An Ender Battle School Story

In spite my distaste for the last 2 books, I was deterred to go through the Ender Series. I have read this book until a few pages after the first church scene. I couldn't stand it. Too much of the same, the story wasn't adding anything interesting to me. The religious rhetoric started to sound too pedantic.

The book started with a very (VERY) lengthy pro-religion like sermon. And when I was ready to give up, the author sort of destroys this whole thing, talking down on religion. At that point I started to fell like this sort of thing also happened in the previous books, and that was making me reconsider Ender's Game as my favorite book. So I stopped this sacrilegious train of though.
