If there is no God, you and I have no eternal souls. We are then nothing more than pieces of meat, to be disposed of as the state sees fit. It’s one reason most statists are atheists, and atheists are statists. They don’t want God getting in their way.
Dawkins clearly sees us as pieces of meat.
Better than that, an atheist cannot say what is good and evil, right and wrong, moral and immoral. They have no standard by which to judge others. For Dawkins to lecture people about what is moral or immoral simply means that he is the sole judge. To another atheist they might have a different set of rules. So Dawkins’ job is to convince people and get everyone to agree that this action is “immoral” simply because everyone agrees. Trouble is, it means nothing for it’s not based on anything. You could have everyone agreeing that the world is flat but that doesn’t mean they’re right.
The problem with the atheist viewpoint is that there is a code of conduct written on the heart. People know that it’s wrong to murder, steal, lie, etc. These aren’t things that people agreed as being wrong; they are things that people know intuitively.
And Dawkins knows this as well. He just doesn’t want to admit it. And, you’re right; he sees us as pieces of meat. But in due time...
