"Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon"
www.amazon.com/gp/product/067003472X/102-7639701-8094557?v=glance&n=283155
Dan Dennett's new book aims to unravel the taboo of looking at religion from a scientific perspective. As always, Dennett's books are fascinating as they are enlightening.

"Daniel Dennett, the author of such groundbreaking and influential books as Consciousness Explained and Darwin’s Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanings of Life (which was a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize), is famous for being a philosophical gadfly, challenging unexamined orthodoxies in our society. He has made considerable contributions to the study of consciousness, the understanding of the development of the child’s mind, artificial intelligence and evolutionary theory. He is University Professor, professor of philosophy, and co-director of the Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University."
