Science and Skeptics Book Club - "Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon" Daniel C. Dennett

Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon. Daniel C. Dennett. Note: Dennett will be speaking at CMU on November 8. 

Dennett tackles the controversial question of why we believe in God and how religion shapes our lives and our future. He asks, Where does our devotion to God come from and what purpose does it serve? Is religion a blind evolutionary compulsion or a rational choice? Is it truly the best way to live a moral life? Dennett explains how organized religion evolved from folk beliefs and why it is such a potent force today.
