   Well, to no one's surprise, [1]Richard Dawkins loved Christopher
   Hitchens' anti-religion book.

   I've always been curious if folks like Dawkins have ever considered
   the possibility that religion is, in fact, an evolutionarily inborn
   trait and, if so, how futile it would be to try to browbeat people out
   of it--or why the trait would have developed in the first place. The
   notion that it's just rumors and myths strikes me as severely lacking
   (and is probably why I gave up on atheism myself).
