Secular Sangha: A Secular Buddhist Group discussion

Use this thread to discuss The Bodhisattva's Brain : Buddhism Naturalized by Owen J. Flanagan.

As this book questions the viability of a secular Buddhism I think that this article is a good companion piece: http://aristocratsofthesoul.com/secul...

As the writer of the article states: "My intent in this post is not to demean secular Buddhism in any way, but simply to point out the vast divergences of worldview that comprise this modern movement, and to educate those who might not be familiar with the many differences between modern secular Buddhism and more traditional Buddhist beliefs."
