So I'm reading this book that's an atheist arguing for a scientific look into religion as a cultural phenomenon as it is unique to our species. He questions if religion has played a part in the evolutionary success of the human race, or if it at all impacts our ability to thrive, for better or for worse.
I love the idea of studying religion as a factor of evolutionary success, and I do love reading from skeptic viewpoints, but this author is almost laughable with his tone.
I've not gotten through a quarter of this book so I'll not write a whole review just yet but I find it hilarious when atheist authors claim to be so unbiased and yet spill all their prejudices out on every page.
How can you say you don't believe in religion, any aspect of religion, but believe that Satan is evil? How can you display your blatant Islamophobia and call yourself neutral?
I will continue reading this because the science itself is interesting, even if the authors condensending tone and obvious prejudices make me roll my eyes ever other page.
