On this National Day of Reason, too many people are dallying with faith and fable. They know it is fake but try to will it to be true or they value the wishful over the truthful. This is not OK.

Americans simply haven’t found a satisfying alternative to religion, Lauren Jackson writes. “Religion can offer beliefs, belonging and behaviors all in one place; it can enchant life; most importantly, it tells people that their lives have a purpose.”
