Robert Wright has written a book called the Evolution of God. He is an ex-Baptist but
in my view carries with him many of the authoritarian traits of the major Abrahamic
religions. His view of conscience is that of being judged and acting out that.

He claims that Dawkins is wrong is saying that the Israel/Palestine conflict could be
attributed to religion. He says it's economic or cultural or land issues. I call this
a form of denial. He was on Bill Moyers program recently.

I think his view is close to a Deist position. Apparently his book has made the best
seller list of the Times.

His arguments invite rebuttal. It will be interesting to see how this shapes up.
