Title: approaching a forbidden subject
Review: Dennett encourages us to scrutinize religious behaviors with the same critical skills we apply to other human behaviors. Patiently and politely, he builds the case that moral behavior is not dependent on theology and a belief in a supernatural God. Atheists may exhibit the same range of moral behaviors as religious believers.As to immoral behaviors, those who claim to interpret the will of God should not be exempt from scrutiny or from legal consequences. Chapter 10 is an especially good statement of Dennett's case.
