I think there is less difference between religion and other belief systems than we think. We all like to believe we're in direct contact with truth. I will say that in some respects my belief in science is not very different from the belief other people have in religion. I mean, I believe in climate change, but I have no idea about it really. What I believe in is the institutions and methods of people who tell me there is climate change. We shouldn't think that because we are not religious, that makes us so much cleverer than religious people. The arrogance of scientists is something I think about a lot. – Daniel Kahneman
