I was very disappointed with Grayling in this, and with how his pretty basic thoughts were allowed to pass without any serious challenge. Is he really that unaware of the serious work that's going on in philosophy of religion at the moment? I mean, saying that belief in God is akin to belief in fairies is the kind of stuff that populates internet discussion boards, not the kind of thing that serious philosophers discuss...!
