Originally posted by bluegmt I don't get why it is so important to read famous and smart authors about religon and/or atheism. I mean, as an agnostic, the only religious books I'd read would be the Bible and the Quran and maybe a few books about religion and its history. But why would I read a book which talks about beliefs and trying to prove a certain point of view and rejecting the others? I think beliefs are deeply intimate and I don't want someone to tell me what to or not to believe...

It is important, because politicians make decisions based on their belief and their decisions affect everyone.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J As I said before though, Dawkins is really a preacher to the already-converted. He might argue publicly with and against religious figureheads and institutions, but he's not really talking to them. He's actually directing his message at a certain kind of atheist: the arrogant, self-congratulatory atheist who smugly believes themselves to be more rational and intelligent for seeing through the "children's stories" of religion and confronting the truth of reality without a "comfort blanket". That's Dawkins' audience. His entire body of work is one giant pat on the back for the self-regarding atheists of the world. His belligerent style doesn't make any attempt to reach out to the religious and convince them of anything. It's a polemic to be repeated by people who already agree with Richard Dawkins.

Dawkins' audience is both atheists and undecided or religious people. There are people that decided to come out as atheist thanks to him, so I guess his style does work for some people
