I think everybody should watch this and question themselves inadvertently after ? Did you tell your grand-ma you're an atheist ?  What about your acquaitances ?  Sometimes you kind of know they are atheists but do you ask them outright ? I qquote Daniel Dennett "don't  ask, don't tell, don't ask, tell".

I have always had the feeling there werea lot of closet atheists,or people who never dareto askor probe their beliefs or non-beliefs.  It's like having a stigma being an atheist...

I have to check out what he asserted about Quebec because, here, as far as I know, children (or their parents) can choose moral or religious classes.

I had a little problem with his putting a person in a situation where they didn't understand the language. I have been put in that position; it's definitely very difficult, but you don't get to talk or to ask questions (except the simple ones very quickly).

Great talk.

i figured when I am laughing and wanting to buy Christopher Hitchens and 80 of Johnny Walker was sufficient for me, but this is more elegant.
