Jordan Peterson, Nicholas Nassim Taleb and other popular thinkers contend that even if gods don’t exist, we still need religion, because it evolved to protect us from harms we don’t understand. I wrote about why they are wrong.

No, I'm referring to your sarcastic use of quotes in your tweet. Atheism was beaten, not "beaten." Religion won. The vast majority of humanity are religious. We are pushing back with reason & rationale, which is fine, but let's not pretend religion is some odd, irrational thing.

Something can be irrational while also being widespread. And I wouldn't be so quick to declare religion the victor; our species is still young, and religion is currently being relinquished at an unprecedented rate.
