I find many of answers in the spiritual realm. That in no way compromises my ability to think rigorously as a scientist.
Richard DawkinsIt is a remarkable coincidence that almost everyone has the same religion as their parents and it always just so happens they're the right religion.
Richard DawkinsWhy would anybody be intimidated by mere words? I mean, neither I nor any other athiest that I know ever threatens violence. We never threaten to fly planes into skyscrapers. We never threaten suicide bombs. We are very gentle people. All we do is use words to talk about things like the cosmos, the origin of the universe, evolution, the origin of life. What's there to be frightened of? It's just an opinion.

Richard DawkinsTheology is a non-subject. I'm not saying that professors of theology are non-professors. They do interesting things, like study biblical history, biblical literature. But theology, the study of gods, the study of what gods do, presupposes that gods exist. The only kind of theology that I take account of are those theological arguments that actually argue for the existence of God.
