Not because he refers to Atheism as a group like those of prosecuted Women, Black and/or Foreign Folk that were once sold, or 'Gays', but because this man once OWNED SLAVES IN AFRICA. He is not from the U.S., or Great Britain (Uk Area, Which Most In America Would Just Assume Because Of His Accent). He grew up pretty wealthy considering his place in the world and what his parents had. Apparently somewhere along the way he did a lot of reading, studying, and clarifying, to become what he is now. He's a pretentious-bound man who, if can't get things right and impress, changes the subject and goes on the offense. He can't explain his way out of everything, but his philosophy is somewhere along the lines of "Science Explains All".
Please tell me how he is not just using tricks to get to society on this scale?
Great job, he made friends, and they happen to be scientists. It's great he's bringing science into our world, but we DO NOT have to stop Religion from being a part of our culture.
No more Christmas celebrated in schools, or the word "Easter Bunny" being used on Easter in public gatherings that are official.
I think he's one of the side-causes that America doesn't use it's Holidays as celebratory as they once were used. Since their are too many opposing Religions, he decides it's best to just not make up your mind or shut all of them out. Yes Society can survive by itself without needing Religion to keep it safe, but WHO THE FUCK THINKS THAT THEY ARE SMARTER JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE AN ATHEIST? lmfao. It's become a cheering thing or a sort of rally cry to this faggot.
Please tell me what everyone else is seeing in him and I'm not?
All welcome to debate as long as you have heard a little about his newest book,
"The God Delusion".

You too, are a man who just 'lowered' yourself to petty insults you fucken hippocrit... I should pretty much leave it at that seeing as youve killed your credibility even before the quarter mark of your post..
And for your information, the book isnt written because 'people didnt agree with his views'... Actually a large section of the book is devoted to showing how the majority of well educated people actually DO agree with his views these days.. Even giving light to studies that show generally the more intelligence and education found in a group of people the less religion is likly to be found... Which is so blindingly fucking true if you care to think about it..
The book really is an extremily well written rebuttal and systematic dismissal of the bullshit perpectuated by people that are hopelessly stuck in the excessivly antiquated dogmatic realm of mainstream religion.
Aside from christmas being a commercialised festival where we tend to forget that it originated as a pagan sun worshipping date and instead flounder around humoring christians and more-so realising the personal value of giving and recieving gifts and spending time with family, nothing youve mentioned is fitting for a persuasive argument to keep religion in our culture..
Science may not yet explain all, however science is logic....... whereas religion is simply an illogical proposal that humanity clings to because it was there from our humble beginnings as primative fucking morons eager to halt progression in the name of dogmatic faith from the dark ages.
I dont particuly give a sideways fuck on your perspective of richard dawkins as a human being.. Personally I prefer to read his book unbiased and see the logic behind his words rather than foolishly dismiss what he says as a result of prejudgement due to my own belief's..
And I seriously recommend people DO read this book.. Dont let some fucking half whit on the internet prescribe your feelings towards it for you.. Make up your own damn mind.
