Religionauts are justifiably afraid of Richard Dawkins. Dawkins' aim of destroying false notions like God, creationism, etc. give ample reason for fear. With every inch of popularity, Dawkins' ideas can reek havoc on those of faith.
One has to wonder whether Nietzches' words are coming to fruition,
God is dead, God is dead!Religious groups are scrambling to mount a response, but they are far from pitting a chunk in the secular agenda's armor. Dawkins, Darwin, and countless other writers offer a simple explanation of how the world of organisms work. We evolved into what we have now. The rule of evolution becomes obvious from most angles.
On the other hand, the religionaut retort provides an explanation filled with exceptions and possible contradictions. Though this reviewer is no sucker for mud slinging, hypocrisy remains rampant in organized religion as well.
Looks like Dawkins' books could be producing more than just big profits.
