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

Rearing one's children in a strongly religious environment, Pim, is a
fundamental religious liberty. At least in my book.

Dennett would like to prevent that, if I have the right American in mind,
and if Rich's NPR program information is correct, then Dawkins is in the
same category.

But, what about that virus thing, Pim? Do you agree or not, that Dawkins
says this type of thing? Doesn't he actually say that belief in God is a
virus to eradicate? And, if he does, isn't that pretty serious talk? Isn't
it roughly the same as hatred of religious people? It sounds to me like
some of the things Hitler said about Jews, to be frank.
