Free Religion & Spirituality eBooks

2020k (Religion&Spirituality) Large collection, divided into categories and sub-categories for download in a variety of formats.  Note:  Most of the links here are working, but there are a number that lead to BookRags, which are not free anymore.  Unfortunately, there is no way of telling where the link goes until you click the link.  Since they did fix the issue with archive.org links, hopefully they will fix this. Thanks to Marie99 for pointing this out.
