I enjoyed this article a lot and I am saddened by some (not all) comments here.
I think many people who grow up as non-religious thinkers or choose by themselves to reject sprituality and/or religion, go through the same humility-inducing phases after growing up, so to speak.
I still don't believe in god but true nihilism is something to be afraid of.
As is science reduced to being a tool to increase profit.
Re: Dawkins
I understand the discussion here boils down to exactly the pointa that the article makes.
Re: Lorenz Krauss
I agree that calling someone a "hack physicist" is bad style and unneeded. However, reading the linked article behind these strong words was gratifying and interesting, I feel thankful that the author used this form of clickbait. I have no idea about Krauss and won't judge his scientific achievements as I am not a phywicist and probably will have forgotten his name in a couple of days.
I have however read endless trails of Quantum ane String theory pop-science woo that is not very good at making understable or falsifible Points.
Re: Mental illness
I wholheartedly agree. There are desparate people being told "SSRIs are like Insuline for you", right now, all over the world, because of flawed commercialized science. People are being harmed by this type of pseudo science, in very serious ways.
