An interesting result of social science research (perhaps especially interesting in connection with the piece that I just posted a few minutes ago):
I dunno. Dare I say it? The late Christopher Hitchens’s dictum that “religion poisons everything” is coming to seem . . . well, perhaps not entirely accurate.
Such results don’t prove that religious claims are true, of course. But they do suggest, in my view, that — to borrow a phrase from (as I recall) the interesting Protestant theologian Stanley Hauerwas — religious belief is consistent “with the grain of the universe.”
