1. An Open Letter to Richard Dawkins

Comment #96558 by toodles on December 10, 2007 at 5:52 pm

My opinion is that Richard is correct in saying that a world without religion would be a better place, and that we should actively push for that to happen.

Whilst I disagree with Father Morris when he says that it is the intrinsically atheist nature of some political systems which has led to great crimes against humanity, I must say that I find Dawkin's counterargument lacking in strength.

I'm not going to write a thousand words here that no-one wants to read, but I do find Dawkin's responses to this challenge unconvincing, and I hope that he and other readers on this page could contribute to something a bit stronger.
