Richard Dawkins’ book The God Delusion continues rank high in Amazon and New York Times nonfiction best seller lists.  A companion to the book,  the two part documentary program The Root of All Evil? was written and narrated by Dawkins for Channel 4 in the UK.  The film has not been shown in the US, but is available on Google video. 

Part I: The God Delusion

Part II: The Virus of Faith

Dawkin’s rhetoric is almost as simple and one dimensional as the religious rhetoric he’s so ardently opposed to. Dawkins would prefer we were all scientists — indoctrinated with science. He replaces a religion of god with a religion of science. Science is his god and he’s just as much a fundamentalist as the people he criticizes — thus exposing us to the same dangers he want us to fear. Listening to a scientist educate me about theology makes about as much sense as having a theologian educate me about science.

Richard wants people to value evidence, and by believing in religion you are not doing so. He is not a fundementalist, because show him the evidence and his mind will change. That is simply basing belief on reason and evidence, it is not one dimensional.
