Sažetak
Daniel Dennett is a significant and influential American philosopher, mostly known to the Croatian academic circle through the New Atheism movement, of which he is a prominent representative. This paper presents his perception of religion that is developing in a Darwinian paradigm, in which science plays a key role. That paradigm is strongly counter-intuitive and consequently problematic and inaccessible to most people. The article presents Dennett’s efforts to bring the paradigm closer to readers, and then it puts forward his perception of religion as a natural phenomenon, its evolution and role in contemporary democratic society.
