Reason and Religion 5/7

Giano Rocca [author of the paper under review]: “The breadth and depth of the debate that my writing aroused, for which I thank everyone, led me to some reflections. […] However, even if one day, some societies are stably realized [in such a way] that they can believe, with scientific certainty, that they have solved the "social problem" - that is, the problem of the contrast between the ideological diversity of individuals, and a society whose members have chosen mutual tolerance and ideological compromise - I believe that there will always be those who will find it preferable to believe in God. Their freedom is as dear to me as mine! I thank everyone for their contribution.” [Note: Giano is Italian, and English is his second language. I’ve made some minor changes for the sake of intelligibility.]
