The claim that something does not exist (as some Atheist do) without evidence to back up said claim qualifies as a belief.

This:

Does anyone else remember the part in The God Delusion where Dawkins tries to argue that making a kid believe in hell is worse than molesting them, because you can get over being touched inappropriately, but you can’t get over the fear of hell? That really made me dislike that book. So yeah, not all atheists are fond…

That’s sort of what happens being part of any group outside the dominant hegemony—inevitably, you all get defined by the actions of your worst members.

Well Evangelicals and Dawkinists have a lot in common - namely bigotry and racism so it’s not that big of a leap. :)

Thats the joy of athiesm - you *can* ignore the crap and keep what works.

The God Delusion is, of course, Richard Dawson’s work

Just call it a bible for Dawkins-ists.

He got converted by.... Richard Dawkins?
