Here's a lecture by David Sloan Wilson criticizing the mainstream intelligent design vs. evolution and atheism vs. religion debates, calling them merely as "sideshows." Very mind-expanding. Check it out and see why Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett (and other angry atheists) are missing the point when it comes to religion. Take note that David Sloan Wilson is an evolutionary biologist and also an Atheist.

P.S. To all the integral geeks out there, this lecture by David Sloan Wilson focuses more on the Lower Quadrants (e.g. society and culture from an evolutionary biology perspective). It provides a more integral look at society and the function of religion much better than what The Holy Trinity of Atheism--Dawkins, Harris, Dennett--are arguing about. Also check out the related article: Beyond Demonic Memes: Why Dawkins is Wrong About Relligion. Very fluffy.
