We have tried that and it joins the list of political oppression. It seems to be fairly deeply stitched into human nature. It seems to be part of all cultures, so I don&#8217;t expect it to vanish. And yet at the same time, if it is built into human nature, why are there so many people who don&#8217;t believe in it? I think it is important that people with no religious beliefs speak up and speak for what they value. It is a bit of a problem, the title &#8222;Atheist&#8220;&#8211;no one really wants to be defined by what they do not believe in. We haven&#8217;t yet settled on a name, but you wouldn&#8217;t expect a Baptist minister to go around calling himself a Darwinist. But it is crucial that people who do not have a sky god and don&#8217;t have a set of supernatural beliefs assert their belief in moral values and in love and in the transcendence that they might experience in landscape or art or music or sculpture or whatever. Since they do not believe in an afterlife, it makes them give more valence to life itself. The little spark that we do have becomes all the more valuable when you can&#8217;t be trading off any moments for eternity.&#8220; <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"articleText\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"articleText\">  <a href=\"http:\/\/tnr.com\/politics\/story.html?id=2cee28d1-869d-447a-8e83-4e046f5ad6df\">Ganzes Interview hier<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ian McEwan \u00a0\u00a0 Foto: Eamon McCabe Der gro\u00dfe britische Autor Ian McEwan (ich mochte &#8222;Saturday&#8220; sehr!) \u00fcber die &#8222;Unausrottbarkeit der Religion&#8220; aus der Sicht eines nichtmilitanten Nichtgl\u00e4ubigen.
