Yeah, he's a neuroscientist and part of the new atheist movement; he wrote a book about religion too.

He says there's no reason to believe such beings exist, but that a morality based on a spectrum of experience is tacitly predicated on it being true that if something stands in relation to humans in the way humans stand in relation to cockroaches, then that thing is more important than us (if you accept that humans are more important than cockroaches).

He's also pro-torture.
