The Devil's Delusion - Atheism and its scientific pretensions - David Berlinski:

 

'While science has nothing of value to say on the great and aching questions of life, death, love, and meaning, what the religious traditions of mankind have said forms a coherent body of thought. The yearnings of the human soul are not in vain. There is a system of belief adequate to the complexity of experience.  There is a recompense for suffering. A principle beyond selfishness is at work in the cosmos. All will be well. I do not know of any of this is true. I am certain that the scientific community does not know that it is false. Occupied by their own concerns, a great many men and women have a dull, hurt, angry sense of being oppressed by the sciences. They are frustrated by endless scientific boasting. They suspect that as an institution, the scientific community holds them in contempt. They feel no little distaste for those speaking in its name. They are right to feel this way. I have written this book for them' -  David Berlinski.
