A selection of TED Talks on religion, freethought and science.

 


Dan Dennett: Ants, terrorism, and the awesome power of memes (February, 2002)



"Starting with the simple tale of an ant, philosopher Dan Dennett unleashes a devastating salvo of ideas, making a powerful case for the existence of memes -- concepts that are literally alive."


Richard Dawkins: An atheist's call to arms (February, 2002)



"Richard Dawkins urges all atheists to openly state their position -- and to fight the incursion of the church into politics and science. A fiery, funny, powerful talk."


Dan Dennett: A secular, scientific rebuttal to Rick Warren (February, 2006)



"Philosopher Dan Dennett calls for religion -- all religion -- to be taught in schools, so we can understand its nature as a natural phenomenon. Then he takes on The Purpose-Driven Life, disputing its claim that, to be moral, one must deny evolution."
