I think the book is absolutely right, it is very logical and is nothing i havent heard before...but the thing about religion that is very appealing is that it gives people hope, and whether you believe in relgion or not you have to admit that is admirable and valuable...it wont go away ever, for that reason...people need hope and there is nothing else that can install that hope in people better than relgion, even in the most desperate of times...so i guess in the books analysis of the past he is right, but in its prediction of the future i strongly disagree...
