Page 43-44: Boghossian claims faith removes wonder and curiosity; Mike counters that faith enhances his intellectual engagement

Page 43: "Faith taints or at worst removes our curiosity about the world, what we should value and what type of life we should live. Faith replaces wonder with epistemological arrogance disguised as false humility." Page 44: "The Street Epistemologist seeks to help others reclaim their curiosity and their sense of wonder, both of which were robbed by faith." Mike personally rebuts this: his belief that the universe was made by a genius, that humans are amazingly made and worth honoring, spurs rather than kills his wonder and curiosity.
