New Essay on PsyRel: The Virtues of Godlessness

I am pleased to reprint Phil Zuckerman's essay, The Virtues of Godlessness, which appeared earlier this year in The Chronicle of Higher Ed. It offers an application of William James's (among others) effort to judge religion by its effects. In many ways, Zuckerman's analysis addresses some of the same concerns as does Dave Myers, whose Friendly Letter to Skeptics and Atheists I also highly recommend.
