February BES Meeting: Greg Paul on "The End of Supernaturalistic Religion: The Socioeconomic Factor."
Sunday, February 28, at 10:30 am
Location: Baltimore Ethical Society
Greg Paul's (www.gspaulscienceofreligion.com) ground breaking technical paper (www.epjournal.net/filestore/EP07398441_c.pdf) showing that religion is a superficial opinion that is popular only when socioeconomic conditions are dysfunctional, and is collapsing in the western democracies, has been covered in Newsweek, USA Today and The Guardian. This platform will cover material that is being presented by Greg at a conference in Copenhagen in the summer of 2010. Gregory Paul has been labeled the church's public enemy number one by MSNBC, and denounced as unAmerican in the Wall Street Journal. His popular essays are found in Washington Post/On Faith (newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/guestvoices/2009/11/defending_darwins_science_by_taming_social_darwinism.html; extended version at www.edge.org/#paul), Edge, Wall Street Journal Weekend Magazine (early January 2010), Free Inquiry, Dissident Voice, Daily Kos, OpEdNews.
