mousethief,

I have followed Richard Dawkin's speeches and find no hatred in them but there is
plenty of hatred for those who criticize religion in a dispassionate and analytical way.

There are all kinds of atheists and some of them are shrill and mean but Dawkins is not
one of them. He is a rational thinker and though critical of religion, he has religious
friends and supporters. Dawkins is an ethologist, a biologist and a proponent of Darwin and one of the few who really understands Darwin's contributions to humanity.

Man, there sure is a lot of prejudice on Mudcat.
