I really like the philosophizing of Alan Watts on religion. He has the ability to be as articulate and knowledgeable on the subjects of atheism, the idea of a deity, and collective religion without the condensation that you sometimes get from atheists like Christopher Hitchens or Matt Dillahunty. Now, I haven't watched or listen to every speech or lecture that Watts has ever gave, so may be is a condescending prick somewhere, at some time. But I really enjoy the academic way he walks you through the reasons there is no ordained God, no ordained religion, no deity that is the divine authority.
