The atheist’s comments continue an irresponsible pattern of demonizing one religion while celebrating the one he grew up with
Dawkins stopped representing us a long, long time ago. He made some good points for a while, and then got so enamored of his own celebrity that he stopped being skeptical of his own thoughts. It’s sad to watch his decline, but he’s no longer relevant.
Honestly surprised at this. First time I hear about Dawkins in a decade and he calls a religion decent.
And he’s transphobic. What a world.
… a literal death cult is fundamentally decent… 🤯
All my homies ignore Richard Dawkins.
I couldn’t get it from comments, why people are not supporting this statement.
Can we agree that Buddhism is more fundamentally decent than Christianity.
If yes, then we should agree on this statement too.
Certainly some religions are less shittier.
Can we agree that Buddhism is more fundamentally decent than Christianity.
On paper but there are a huge number of incidents of sexual abuse in monasteries so no.
Fundamentally all religions have lofty ideals but in general, people are shitty
I don’t agree with that statement, because both on paper and in practice, Christianity is no better or worse than Islam. The only reason Christians aren’t slaughtering homosexuals and transgender people the same way is because they’ve been leashed by secularism. It’s not that they haven’t or don’t want to again. It’s that they know they can’t get away with it – yet.
Look at organizations like Seven Mountains and other Dominionist groups promoting Christian Nationalism. It’s not a coincidence that Kevin Swanson regularly sees Republican office holders at his “Kill the Gays” rallies. They don’t hate Islamic theocracies because of the theocracy part. It’s that they’re jealous of their religious power and want to surpass it.
What if he had said it was Judaism that was inherently not decent? Wouldn’t that be antisemitic? Wouldn’t there be uproar?
