Stephen Sackur speaks to Daniel Dennett, a philosopher who
applies Darwinian evolutionary theory not just to species, but to
ideas and religious beliefs. Dennett believes religion has
outlived its usefulness, hampers rational thought and damages our
species. Along with Richard Dawkins and the late Christopher
Hitchens, Dennett is seen as a founding father of the new
atheism. But do humans want to live in a world where atheism
rules and religion is dead?
