Tyson instead of attacking religion directly with arguments people heard 100 times simply tells about evolution, cosmos, science etc.
He also tells it in such a way that religion simply collapses under the weight of knowledge.
I won't be surprised if many people will be deconverted because of this show.
I understand where you're coming from but...
1) People will continue to believe in magic stories if the religions are not questioned.
2) People can just assume their god was behind whatever they show in Cosmos.
3) Neil refuses the Atheist label even though he basically is one.
4) I doubt this show will deconvert lots of people. But maybe.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
