In general, Dawkins seems like an overly rational reductionist to me. But this show, I think, serves a good purpose in exposing the pre-rational magical thinking that so many people engage in. When he attacks ALL religion as worthless, I have to object. But this series is useful. I found it pretty entertaining, especially since I have had similar conversations with people who believe in astrology, homeopathy, or various other irrational systems.

Is Homeopathic Medicine the "Enemy of Reason"?
