Quotes by Dan Dana  (?)

“The Reason Revolution has no formal leaders, no central planning, no headquarters, no founding documents, and no funding. It is an organic movement whose participants envision a better, more humanitarian world without religion. As our numbers and proportional representation increase, and as the supernaturalist theology of religionists arcs toward irrelevance, reason will overtake faith. It is only a matter of time.”
Dan Dana, The Reason Revolution: Atheism, Secular Humanism, and the Collapse of Religion

“The Catholic Church discontinued its prohibition of books advocating heliocentrism in 1758, but not until 1992 did it officially vindicate Galileo—Papal fallibility is a hard thing to admit!”
Dan Dana, The Reason Revolution: Atheism, Secular Humanism, and the Collapse of Religion

“For reasons understood well by evolutionary psychologists, humans form durable emotional attachments (love) to family members and friends. On the death or loss of love objects, grief is a natural emotional result.”
Dan Dana, The Reason Revolution: Atheism, Secular Humanism, and the Collapse of Religion
