Dialogue between Gary Weber and Rich Doyle on the failure of religion. Why did we need organized religion? What organizational structure could replace it?...rationalism? secular humanism? Can it be done w/o an organization? Would personal spirituality work? Can we know another's mind? The power of "not knowing" in generating innovative and creative solutions.
