Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - Richard Dawkins: Anti-spiritual or Anti-superstitious?

Or, has Dawkins simply gone over the top in reacting to what he perceives to be valueless superstitious religion?

Are his positions measured, or are they calculated to bait religious people and gain notoriety, or...?

Is there a need for religion, or is Dawkins right that a world without religion would be a better world?

Can the world get along without religion? Should it? Who decides?

Has science "unwoven the rainbow," or can science be a door to spirituality, wonder and awe?
