“I am confident that those who believe in belief are wrong. That is, we no more need to preserve the myth of God in order to preserve a just and stable society than we needed to cling to the Gold Standard to keep our currency sound.

We should certainly hope that those who believe in belief are wrong, because belief is waning fast, and the props are beginning to buckle.” WorldNeedsShouldBelieveFaithOrderBeliefNationsSoundStudyIssuesCrimeNeededStandardsGoldMythPreservesStableCurrencyPropsCrutchesDenmarkGold StandardBuckles Author:Daniel Dennett
