Next Episode: The Roots of Morality (Ch6, The God Delusion)
If there is no God, why is almost everyone religious? For an atheist like Richard Dawkins, it's a puzzling question; one which he tackles in Chapter 5 of The God Delusion. This episode looks at Dawkins' attempt to explain away religion as an "evolutionary byproduct." He offers a plausible hypothesis, but Romans 1 offers a different explanation for the roots of religion.
