Professor Richard Dawkins exposes the well and not so well meaning Charlatans of Superstition. 3 to 1 ratio of mystery cult and superstitious (religious) path books are sold to every 1 science book. The concentration of (our) children's education on the self centred feely-feelies of personal imaginings and superstition (spirituality), leading the decline of science and reason amongst us. Its world-wide and never ending appalling (violent) consequences. Science and 'reason', being very much more costly to teach: you can't just pull the rabbits out of a Mad Hatters hat and make things easy on (a) some whim. The impoverished, selfish and self-centered 'feely-feeliers' will take us all back to the Middle Ages with their ghastly forms of 'secret sessions' (to-days SACRE/NASACRE guidance for schools), reasoning, and divisive rites. Some politicians with their Old Testament 'Book of Revelations' language in their speeches have now so easily beguiled us (again) with mostly imagined scary stories, irrational, and inherent fears. We educate our children to a mass conformity, to blindly obey and accept propaganda and manipulation!

What is Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy?
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) encourages a direct focus on emotional problems, encouraging understanding of the thoughts, beliefs and behaviour that are responsible for maintaining these problems. REBT encourages a healthier outlook by challenging their irrational thoughts and strengthen a conviction in rational beliefs.
