Agree totally, not just 95%.

Samwik. I think you would enjoy "The God Delusion". Bit more to it than just evolution of belief. The following quote is regarding absolute moral belief, esp euthanasia and abortion. He considers what would happen if, say, Australopithecus was still around. "But evolutionary continuity shows that there is no absolute distinction. Absolutist moral discrimination is devastatingly undermined by the fact of evolution. An uneasy awareness of this fact might, indeed, underlie one of the main motives creationists have for opposing evolution: they fear what they believe to be its moral consequences".

Ah. I've got that off my chest.
