If either had had their way religion would be banned.

Find me one, in context quote of Dawkins where he advocates for the banning (dictionary meaning: an official prohibition or edict) of religion. He's so prolific, it should be easy for you.

Which Creationist Ed?

Oh let's see, how about the poster of the article who felt compelled to add his a lie to the title? Or how about those who inevitabley claim that all evolutionists are atheists? Or maybe folks who claim that Dawkins is from the Marx school of religious thought? Creationists lies are a dime a dozen.

An irrational man can read Dawkins views on religion and come away thinking Dawkins would not ban religion if he were King. A rational man would not I think.

Is it a requirement that I now call you a liar because we disagree on this? I don't see how that gets us anywhere but if it's in the rules I'll do it.

Creationists lies are a dime a dozen.

I hardly think they have a monopoly in that respect. In fact, what you perceive as lies may be an overreaction. Does "Creationists: God's Gift to Ignorance" sound like a religion-friendly title to you? I bet if the title read, "Evolutionists: Science's Gift to Ignorance" you would consider it "science bashing."

You will not find many creationists, at least any thoughtful ones, saying "all evolutionists are atheists." I need to know more about the Marx school of religious thought before I comment on whether Dawkins dovetails with it, but I would not be surprised.

Evoutionists, OTOH, have "dime-a-dozen" fantasies PLUS a monopoly on public education. Education has put up long enough with naturual selection and random mutations as fully explanatory of the processes currently observed in the heavens and upon the earth. Let evolutionists cry like stuck pigs while their philosophy is exposed for what it is.
