The book The Rainbow Covenant by Michael Dallen is very critical of paganism. In the featured image we see Native Americans made to look superstitious and crazy. The reader is warned about using magic cures. This is hypocrisy since the Talmud also has many bogus medical cures (here). Imagine if Jews were depicted as superstitious and crazy for their Talmud cures?

Israel's Law, and the Revolutionary Law generally, opposes every kind of idolatry, witchcraft and superstition. Unfortunately, physicians and other so-called healers can be superstitious. Still, God permits a sick person to use "whatever is used as medicine" — but only so long as the drug or other therapy "is recommended by reason." Other so-called "cures" are forbidden.

If one hopes that some therapy or potion will heal the body by means of magic, as by an attempt to compel supposed external spiritual forces, the Torah generally will condemn its use: that manner of thinking is idolatrous. If, on the other hand, one hopes that a cure will work in the normal way — that is, through normal psychological or bodily processes — it doesn't matter whether or not anyone can rationally explain how that cure works: the Torah generally will approve of its use. Even therapies that have been associated with idolatry, such as Chinese acupuncture, or some of the "native medicines" of sorcerers or witch doctors, may be permitted. So long as one understands that such cures work, when they work, on a natural level, medicine may use "everything which has been verified by experiment." (Dallen, 2003, pp. 114-115)
