Author and lecturer Stephen Pinker articulates his thoughts on the Psychology of religion and its effects on humanity. "Man will become better when you show him what he is like," wrote Chekhov, and so the new sciences of human nature can help lead the way to a realistic, biologically informed humanism. Pinker’s brief video clip helps explain the psychological underpinnings of why humans and society are more enlightened than religious dogma of any sort allows them to be.
