Re: A Determinative Question at the Very Root of Morality Itself
His staunch aversion towards anything religious is well documented.
I don't get that from listening to him. To me his point is that indoctrination of any kind, even into atheism, is wrong and abusive when done to a child.
I was just commenting that Dawkins' choice of coverage is indicative of his hatred for all things religious.
I think Dawkins' arguments and position against indoctirination (in this case religious indoctrination) is a bit more detailed and eloquent than, "I just hate 'em." He's against the things we should all be against, that being the manipulation of innocent minds.
