pretty much, scented nector. he says he doesn't believe in free will but this contradicts with his belief that humans can make the decision to educate religion out of themselves, as the idea that we could decide to do that requires a belief/faith in free-will (i.e. humans taking control of their destiny, a power which would seperate us from all other animals -very undarwin - and is my definition of free-will here).
when times are good, for example, if you are a comfortable living middle-class guy from the UK, then god really isn't needed, but times of comfort are periodical, and when it goes so will athiesm, because when it comes down to it humans are highly illogical, irrational creatures. religion is written into our dna, maybe not yours or mine so much, but it's pretty prevalent. the only way to deny this is to suggest that religion has come about seperate from evolution, which is dawkins 'memetics' theory.
could you educate homosexuality out of someone? no, it's prefectly natural. so why religion? what makes it different?
