The Power of Religion

Peter Hitchens says religion is still a very powerful factor in many parts of the world. Richard Dawkins approach there is compatible with everything you said about religion being an extended phenotype and so on he sees it as a mind virus, writes Hitchens. Hitchens: Religion also does bind people to do to do evil but canbind for good as well. He asks Peter have the new atheists outlived their usefulness? "I'm the user they've had lived their usefulness when religion is stillpowerful"
