"Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars are hatched." ~ Guy de Maupassant
Atheists on a Mission to Convert?
"As you may have noticed, [Professor Richard] Dawkins when discussing religion is, in effect, a blunt instrument, one that has a hard time distinguishing Unitarians from abortion clinic bombers. What may be less obvious is that, on questions of God, Dawkins cannot abide much dissent, especially from fellow scientists (and especially from fellow evolutionary biologists). Indeed Dawkins is fond of imputing ulterior motives to those ?Neville Chamberlain School? scientists not willing to go as far as he in his war on religion: he suggests that they're guilty of disingenuousness, playing politics, and lusting after the large prizes awarded by the Templeton Foundation to scientists sympathetic to religion. The only motive Dawkins doesn't seem to take seriously is that some scientists genuinely disagree with him." A scientist of religious belief responds to the new wave of militant atheism in today's culture.
