Subject: Re: [IP] Faith = Illness. Why I've had it with religious
tolerance.
I recommend Daniel Dennet's new book, "Breaking the Spell", for a
dense, very intelligent discussion of this issue. He advocates
studying religion as an evolving natural phenomenon. Sample insight:
Unquestioning belief in a god is similar to romantic love and there
are evolutionary pressures that favor both.
