Stephen writes: I also recommend this quote from the Nobel-prize winning physicist Steven Weinberg:
"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." I guess except for Abu Ghraib, the Stanford Prison and most other prisons and Milgram's study.

Yes indeed. But I'll keep it short. I recommend the essay "Confessions of a Lonely Atheist" by the Pulitzer- prize winning science journalist Natalie Angier, who covers much of the territory of our recent thread. http://www.nytimes.com/library/magazine/home/20010114mag-atheism.html I also recommend this quote from the Nobel-prize winning physicist Steven Weinberg, one of the people Angier mentions in her essay: "With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
