This is in two parts, but the second one is what I found most interesting, and it could drum up some good discussion. In particular he brings up the psychological examples that people tend to be more moral if they think there is a presence over watching them (In this case it was 'spirits' substituted for God). I don't dispute that claim, but I will say that "big brother" doesn't necessitate that you be moral, or that you can't be 100% morally upstanding in your society without beliefs.
Probably the best part is where he demonstrates that even many atheists can be just as prone to beliefs as anyone else, given the right circumstances. Any conspiracy/UFO website will be a testament to that for sure.
