RE: [asa] Richard Dawkins, atheism, and religious liberty

Dawkins is so out of his mind that if he were in power he would ride the world of all believing Christians. The Spanish Inquisition would be child's play compared to what Dawkins would have accomplished with his hate for God.

Quite right, Pim, I am giving benefit of the doubt here to the author of the
article, as you are to Dawkins. We've both read some Dawkins, and I'm
inclined not to doubt the author of the article. However, if you can show
me why I ought to doubt that Dawkins believes what he is said here to
believe about religious education of children and about religion being a
virus that should be quarrantined, than I am all ears.

Dawkins unequivocally believes that belief in God is a "virus of the mind,"
as he puts it in "A Devil's chaplain", esp p. 121 and thereabouts. And, he
unquestionably believes that religion is dangerous and to be eradicated.
Does he not?
