Subject: RE: BS: Non-belief in a god is not a religion
"The God Delusion" is part of the dogma of Dawkins. Maybe being someone who spreads his words is not part of a religion. But the are using dogma. Whether that dogma is religious or not. It is used to reinforce as specific illogical, divisive belief and it is defended by people like Steve Shaw as if it were Gospel.

This is just more goading, I'm afraid. Dogma requires certainty. Both Richard Dawkins and Steve Shaw (that is, me: I love the way Jack always lumps us two together: what an honour!) state loud and clear that they do not know whether God exists or not. To rattle on all the time about uncertainty equating to dogma is to point you out as, at best, semi-literate. And I'm not saying that (that would be "rude"). You do it all by yourself.

By the way, Gospel truth is no kind of real truth at all!
