The science of faith. Really.

Just finished J Anderson Thomson's little book why we believe in god(s): a concise guide to the science of faith.
The God's Eye nebula. Who's watching you baby?
A very nice pulling together of current scientific explanations of why human have religion - a good starting point for working out what we can do about religion's many negative effects and part of the way forward for secular morality. All good stuff. For those who are puzzled why religion persists in the light of reason. Not ideal reading if you think Richard Dawkins is the Antichrist (or even a naughty little boy).
