I wouldn't expect you liberals to understand logic, but I'll try to explain: my interest in Richard Dawkins has nothing to do with politics; he brought forth a R E V O L U T I O N O F T H O U G H T by demonstrating that religion is bad. I can prove it too! ...uhh...umm...all you have to do is read his books!

Isn't he a major sexist prick?

He's shown some anti-feminist tendencies, yes. If you want more details, for whatever reason, just look up "richard dawkins dear muslima".

The fact that his little acolytes think of themselves as rational freethinkers and worship him and other intellectuals with the same religious fervor as the people that they claim to oppose is one of the most frustrating cases of hypocrisy that I've come across. Fuck, he and his ilk are just...eugh.

I've gotta say, he's shitty, utterly reactionary, and counter-productive overall… but The God Delusion is still a pretty good book imo.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't; I'll never know because I see no reason to read it.

The similarities between the deification of rulers and the reification of gods cannot be ignored
the social problem with "religion" is authoritarianism and specialization. Not this logicboy stuff about rationalism and fetishizing the enlightenment, which Dawkins and his ilk are very fond of waxing poetic over
