CitaatFaith is powerful enough to immunize people against all appeals to pity, to forgiveness, to decent human feelings. It even immunizes them against fear, if they honestly believe that a martyr's death will send them straight to heaven. What a weapon! Religious faith deserves a chapter to itself in the annals of war technology, on an even footing with the longbow, the warhorse, the tank, and the hydrogen bomb. ~ Richard Dawkins |

Hello, congratulations on your review of John Haught's God and New Atheism. I read the book myself, and share most of your criticisms. I am really bugged by the "you-have-not-read-theology" argument: you do not need to be an expert on every major astrological book in order to know that astrology is a farse.
