Religion

In his first best seller he took on philosophical questions that some of the titans like Bertrand Russell spent entire tomes on - but HE answered them in a few paragraphs. As I remember, his whole resume to that point was that of a master's level student. I think there was a growing wave of atheism when he came along and he took advantage as one of its leading voices. Unfortunately it appears his hubris has allowed a certain intellectual laziness, which is manifesting itself as he tries to get on another wave, one that is dangerous.
