That was a great article by one great author! I am actually half way through his latest book 'Breaking the spell' so far an excellent read.It's funny how he thanks science and the people that surround him during his recovery.I tend to do the same thing.Once my brother came to my house and I prepared a meal for us and when he sat down to eat he said 'this looks good,thank God for this meal",I corrected him and told him to thank me because if he waited on God he would die of hunger.I like Dennett see religion as myth and tradition and therefore do not give God any credit for any good or evil that I may experience in my life.I dont pray because like Dennett I feel it is a waste of time and energy there are so many other ways that we can make this world a better place by simply becoming active participants within it.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
