Last I heard, religious people outnumbered materialists about 20 to 1. Did something drastic happen while I wasn't paying attention? ;-)

Nobody (including Dennett) believes it is "entirely correct".

I'll accept that. So can an "emergent materialist" operate as a social animal with one worldview?
What exactly constitutes a single worldview? Are two models that happen to be non-inconsistent one or two worldviews? The reason I ask is I was in a presentation today that was talking about Belbin's model of roles in an organizational team (shaper, chairman, innovator, worker, finisher, etc) and this was related to the Myers-Briggs personality types. Two distinctly different models of human personalities, but not inconsistent. One worldview or two?
