Richard Dawkins Planning Atheism Books for Children and Teens to Stop 'Religious Indoctrination'
Christian Today ^ | 8/24/18

Posted on 09/05/2018 6:36:07 PM PDT by marshmallow

Famed atheist Richard Dawkins continues to see belief in God as a threat to humanity and his latest effort to counter it is more books about atheism. But this time, it's not adults he wants to speak to but children and teenagers.

According to recent tweets, the scientist and 'God Delusion' author has two new books in the pipeline, Outgrowing God, which will be about atheism for teenagers, and a second one with the working title of 'Atheism for Children' that will be illustrated.

He explained in tweets this week that his 'Atheism for Children' book is not intended to be a storybook.

'My "Atheism for Children" book will be unflinching, not a storybook: children won't beg parents to buy it for Xmas. Are there parents who'll want to buy it for their children anyway? Do you anticipate a demand? Would you like to see a "children's God Delusion" by me published?' he said.

He then explained in another tweet that his goal was to arm parents against religious indoctrination by schools and grandparents.

Antichristian hate literature.

It bemoans the teaching of religious studies to children.

It isn’t presenting a worldview, it is railing against a worldview.

Fundamentalist atheism. It is a supremacist ideology and is against the freedom of religion. They don’t want anyone believing in God. And they push their religious preaching of atheism in the government. Their no hog god.

Richard Dawkins’ Culture of Death wants to create an impoverished society that is easily controlled by the godless elite that believes the ends justifies the means. Of course, the Culture of Death will be on steroids as they have throughout history. They will stack up the bodies as individuals are deemed out of compliance or no longer useful to the state.

I often point out that the most blood thirsty regimes in history were Atheist. (Excepting Islam, of course.)

I remember something about it being better to have a millstone around your neck and being cast into the ocean . . .

i believe it was dawkins that claims that belief in God is caused by a virus that is spread by sneezing and coughing- (Despite there being zero evidence to support such an idiotic idea-) How about instead he ask whether disbelief in God is caused a virus? It’s just as absurd-

It makes you wonder why people would hate a God who came down from heaven and died for you in order to provide a way to be with him.

As I recall, Jesus declared the fate of those who would lead the children away from him. I wasn’t good.

Atheists have no business crusading for or against anything. The only logical course of action for an atheist is to sit back, relax, take a cool drink, and watch the universe gradually run down.
