"stringsinger-are you claiming that dawkins gives a 2sided presentation that doesnt attack religion?sure did,nt look that way to me when i watched his series on UK tv."

Pete, I am claiming that Dawkins is far more sympathetic to religious delusion that you give him credit for. Have you read any of his books? He hasn't attacked anyone personally but
always confined his discussion to religion and not the religionists. This is intelligent conversation and not the ad-hominem crap that you find on Mudcat.

The argument is not whether people who practice religion are good or bad people. It's about religion itself and there is no 2 sides to delusion. It's crazy or it's not.

The reason it's deluded is that it is a system of practice that can claim no reality that can be proven but just an opinion that has been handed down from generation to generation like a disease which Dawkins refers to as a "meme". It's kind of like a computer virus that hits the net and is given the misnomer of "fact".
