Reverse-engineering Religion

Over at a Blog From Hell, Norm Doering draws my attention to a talk given by Dan Dennett at the 2006 TED conference. It’s one that I don’t think I’ve seen before, although it deals with themes that he’s explored before in his work. It’s also an excellent critique of the false assertions contained in Rick Warren’s book: The Purpose-driven Life. Read Norm’s commentary, and then watch Dennett in action.
