Since I have been seeing posts on religion and atheism, I thought the readers of those threads might be interested in this two-part talk broadcast on KPFA. A religious scholar tackles what he sees as the flaws with three contentions: that religious is a force for peace, that it is the cause of the worst wars, and that social science is of any use in dispelling confusion about religion. The speaker tackles both religious and atheist personalities alike.
