Atheists do whatever they want to do. Dawkins has never encouraged hatred of people for their religion. Religious groups in the US do not have a history of political involvement, as I already pointed out. Having faith that everything is going to turn out fine because God is in control makes people complacent.
Beyond defending the right of children to access information beyond their religious upbringing, what religious "rights" has Dawkins tried to repress? All I hear him saying is "if you want to teach your kids about leprechauns, do it on your own time".
If you're actually certain that you're hitting only a concentration of enemy troops . . . then it's pretty good because those steel pellets will go straight through somebody and out the other side and through somebody else. And if they're bearing a Koran over their heart, it'll go straight through that, too. So they won't be able to say, "Ah, I was bearing a Koran over my heart and guess what, the missile stopped halfway through." No way, 'cause it'll go straight through that as well. They'll be dead, in other words.
We can't live on the same planet as them and I'm glad because I don't want to. I don't want to breathe the same air as these psychopaths and murders [sic] and rapists and torturers and child abusers. It's them or me. I'm very happy about this because I know it will be them. It's a duty and a responsibility to defeat them. But it's also a pleasure. I don't regard it as a grim task at all.
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi called to "allow Jews and Christians to visit Mecca and circle the Kaaba (cubical building surrounded by the Sacred Mosque)."
These days Muslims all around the world are marking Eid al-Adha, the most important Islamic holiday. Some three million people have made the pilgrimage to Mecca.
Gaddafi believes the holiday offers a great opportunity to bring the three main monotheistic religions closer together. "Everyone has the right to stand atop Mount Arafat and circle the Kaaba," he told the media.
"The Kaaba is not meant for Arabs alone, but for people of all continents; the mistake was that they granted this privilege only to Mohammad's descendents, but the Quran does not support this."
There aren't any atheist societies, secular societies are all we have.I want any example of an athiest who has shown public commitment to a secular society rather than an atheist one.
