They do to a minimal extent. They still profess belief in revelation and miracles, to name just two things that are completely orthogonal to the scientific method. I also find it self-evidently false that their goal is to "unify the nations of the world", when you talk about three competing branches of a religion that has a ton of blood on its hands.
I don't think Dawkins is afraid of religious people, but the opposite is quite likely.
- muyuu 4y agonominally they do, both things they carry post-Galilean duality of the spiritual and the natural, and they literally aim to be the world's single religion there is no contradiction between aiming to be unifying, and believing this greater goal justifies bloodshed - in fact it's at the core of it, and it shares the problem with humanism and other forms of moral atheism
- epups 4y agoOk, so they want to unify the world by killing everyone who disagrees. And you seem to believe that "humanists" (meaning atheists I presume) believe the same thing. I hope I didn't get your argument right. In case I did, the first assertion is laughable, and the second one is false.
