Daniel Dennett
is a professor of philosophy at Tufts University and an atheist. His great life project has been to prove that
evolution alone explains human consciousness.
According to Al Mohler, “Dennett suggests that the persistence of belief
in God is not all it is often thought to be, because if you scratch just
beneath the surface, you find that fewer people believe in God than may first
appear. Instead of believing in God, he
says, they believe in belief,”
