Richard Green - Atheism - Challenging Religious Faith

Richard Green, a member of HASSNERS and AtheismUK led a discussion on Atheism in an evening meeting of Dorset Humanists on 24th November 2010.

Richard Green's 50 slide presentation is available for download here.



Here are the papers, by Santos et al, “Stern-Judging: A Simple, Successful Norm Which Promotes Cooperation under Indirect Reciprocity”  and by Ohtsuki et al, entitled “How should we define goodness?—reputation dynamics in indirect reciprocity” along similar lines.

Blackmore’s “epiphany” was in the Guardian in September in “Why I no longer believe religion is a virus of the mind”.
