Daniel Dennett is writing a new book opposing the rise of supernaturalism, to be called “Breaking the spell.”

It will attempt to extirpate supernaturalism. “I have absolutely no doubt that the secular and scientific vision is right and deserves to be endorsed by everybody, and as we have seen over the last few thousand years, superstitious and religious doctrines will just have to give way,” he said.
