Committed to the cause
The antitheist Richard Dawkins has again confirmed that he is engaged in a war against religion.
In an interview about the release of his memoir An Appetite For Wonder: The Making of a Scientist, Dawkins said: “I suppose my particular branch of biology is kind of in the front-line trench where religion is fighting evolution.”
Even though Dawkins does criticize all forms of religion, he directs the majority of his attacks on Christianity.
He especially opposes those who believe that Genesis is literal history, but also has utter contempt for those who try to mix the Bible and evolution, calling it ‘barking mad’ (see creation.com/dawk-on-comp.)
