Indeed, interesting read.
I liked the way he described how shocking it was that reality differed to what had been taught to him through religion. For some of us that pressure is hard to fathom. The question is - is that pressure from family? Is it social? Does it represent a challenge to his logical processing that knowledge is passed down through generations rather than discovered, uncovered and proven?

I think understanding that is the key to undoing the delusion.

I grew up in Dover, Kent and lived in Medway.
Now live in New York, USA - which has a Amsterdam, Warwick and Mexico - to name but a few.

Even if religion is adaptive, even if it is part of our evolution - it doesn't make God exist. Which is what the book is really about.

A politician may think something is right even if it isn't true. A scientist only thinks something is right when it can't be proven wrong.
