I tried reading it but I couldn't get into it. Maybe it the heavy religious themes or just the science fiction being so far into the future? I really should give it a shot again

It starts very slowly and the worldbuilding is exquisite and you will likely uncover many facets only upon rereading it. However, it is well worth persisting.
Works with considerably more action are Olympus and Ilium.
It's ok, at best. I can tell you really like it, so for other people that should be a great indicator!
It's Canterbury Tales structure put me off and the reveals didn't do anything for me. I think I stopped after the second book.
Try Flashback, it's darker but genius as well, maybe more approachable.
