Today's Gray Lady offers a too-brief piece by Richard Schweder, Professor of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago, on the spate of pro-atheism books recently published. In sum, Schweder diagnoses that the anti-religious heirs of the Enlightenment realize that history is not going the way it was supposed to.
We wish the piece contained more on why the religious impulse persists, but we think that many gentle readers can fill in the empty spaces that the essay leaves.
