Blindly rational folks could do with a bit of religion, as well.

Besides, this book doesn't mind if there are reasons to be good and moral. It's not about whether religion is worth it or not. It's about the legal standing of non-religious beliefs.

And what is your rationale that it's better to trust yourself over others? If you know you've met someone smarter than yourself, isn't the most rational thing to do to accept what they say as correct?
