Arthur Briggs said in 1945:
"A humanist is one who believes in man as centre of the universe"
Your fellow humanists may disagree with your assertion that humanity is not special.

I won't pretend that I am arrogant for believing that God will give you what you want. That is none of my business.
I assume that you mean "its not arrogance" but it still works either way.

I spoke with him about this before...IF i remember correctly there is a dualist interpretation and a non-dualist one, either way you are wrong. Either it is reality that is the illusion and God allows you to experience the illusion OR it is your sense of self is an illusion because you are ultimately a part of God. Either way, the ACTUAL perception is not what is illusory which is Dennetts position.

McGrath is a theologian (someone who studies knowledge about God). The book is called the God Delusion.
It literally has God in the title of the book. Holy crap, I couldn't make this stuff up!!

Second, Nagel says that he is an atheist because he doesn't want there to be a god. He thinks that many of his fellow atheists feel the same way.
