Interesting if somewhat futile TED talk by Alain de Botton on how atheism can adopt some of the beneficial trappings of religion while ignoring the icky God part.
While I certainly agree with him that the dialogue between atheists and believers could be more civil, I am afraid he will be seen by New Atheists (Atheists 1.0?) as an accomodationist, and by believing Christians as evidence that humans have an innate need for spiritual fulfillment. Which of course they do.
