Good posts!
I watched Richard Dawkins on a cable channel. He had good arguments, but I wondered why he was specifically targeting Christian and Jewish beliefs and believers.
I would suggest that if he wants a world free of the evil influnces of religious beliefs, he should start with the Mohammedans.
If he and the very interestingly named "Carolyn Porco of the Space Science Institute" can get any traction with them, then I shall give him further interest.
