Subject: RE: BS: Mutual respect
If Mr. Dawkins could push a magic button and eliminate all 'tolerance' for religion in law & culture, I'd be willing to bet he'd soon wish to UN-push it. Until he has a magic button to provide universal education that gets 'everyone' thinking like himself, he is NOT going to like the reaction of those who practice religion and depend on it to answer questions that they can't cope with any other way.

   I see Dawkins' point, but perhaps the real goal is merely to assure that the practice of religion does not infringe on the rights of those who choose not to practice it.
