I like the idea of "Einsteinian religion" for I fall into that category. I am filled with wonder at the universe. I always felt kind of sad for folks who believe in the design rather than evolution of nature, for I find evolution both more believable and cooler! Isn't it more miraculous, more wonderful, to know that order can come from chaos with just a few simple physical laws?

I don't proseletize atheism, because I do feel reverence and I do have inexplicable faiths, such as the faith that human beings are basically good creatures. On the other hand, I do not believe in some all-powerful, interventionist deity. At most, I feel we are all a part of this blessed thing we call life, and thus joined in a union of wandering souls.

I probably won't read this book. There are so many others on my list. But I'm glad to have read your review and glad that atheism is gaining visibility.
