A friend of mine sent me this particular article because he found it to have good points about the human yearning for the transcendental. We have had a few arguments over the usefulness of religion and why he still values religion and Christian values even though he is largely secular. I would love to hear a point by point deconstruction of the basic premise of this article and if possible to try and ignore Mr. Scruton's ugly tone while focusing mainly on the argument and his distortions of atheism. I would like to keep a constructive conversation going with my friend. It would be very helpful to me thank you!
