This is from the Beyond Belief Conference of 2006. I have uploaded them in this format so that it may appeal to broad audience looking for both individual lectures and the entire series. Please, if you enjoy these, donate to The Science Network.

I urge you to check out The Science Network's site as it has more information about this and many other interesting subjects. They hold the copyright on this material (to my knowledge) and if they should want me to remove this, I will comply. In my defense, I just wanted to get this information out to as many people as possible.
If what is good about religion is the sense of community it brings, or whatever, then we do not need to keep religion and hope they just tone it down. We need to create institutions of community that people can be a part of that are humanistic in nature and secular in nature and not just placate and keep some people in the dark about their obviously incorrect beliefs.
