McGrath is right. If you take the position that man created god and not vice versa then ask yourself why. Is it because of the reason Dawkins believes, that man uses religion to justify war? Well if that's true and you eliminate religion then people will just create new reasons to justify war. Napolean, Mao Tse-tung, Pol Pot, Stalin, Lenin, and probably Castro are or were atheists. None of them ever used god as a reason to justify their actions. So tell me how the world would be better off if religion was banned. Race, ethnicity, social status and greed are just some of the reasons people go to war and they have nothing to do with religion. So if you want to ban religion then you might as well go the whole nine yards like Hitler tried to and eliminate everyone that isn't white with blond hair and blue eyes. If you think just eliminating religion is going to bring peace to the world then you're naive.
