I wanted to quote myself here, to bring this thread slightly back on topic an emphasize a point - for political, idealogical and personal reasons under the guise of scientific people, numerous groups and people have advanced other adgendas.
There was a time period i hated christinaity and organized religion - directly do the people like carl sagan - i was fascinated (and still am somewhat) by Cosmos and abhorred the 'ignorant christians' sacking the library of alexandria and setting back civilization eons ...
Then I found out Sagan was a liar.
The library was not sacked by christians.
He deliberately left out the fact that newton and kepler were deeply religious and sought God' order - and it was the beleive that there was a rational god - and the assumption of an ordered universe led to finding it.
the big question why?
As with art and science there have been and continue to be people that deliberately try to polarize. In the case of Dawkins I believe he is 'preaching' his own 'religion' of reason to replace religion - religion cannot be replaced reason or science anymore than religion can replace science - or art replace science or science replace are...sometimes there is art in science, sometimes science in art..
