Celebrity atheists such as Richard Dawkins appear to claim the moral high ground when it comes to violence. Dawkins, along with Sam Harris and the late Christopher Hitchens, insist that because religion is intrinsically violent, then atheism is inherently more pacific. After all, if all the evils in the world can be blamed on religion, then arguably eliminating religion is not only desirable but a moral obligation for atheists who believe in peace.
Yet our research shows that in the War on Terror, these atheists have been surprisingly willing to align themselves with policies which are at least as violent – and in some cases more so – than many of those perpetrated in the name of religion.
“of course they’re driven by horror of the slaughter in Gaza”. - Dawkins in this video
I didn’t know what this video is supposed to be doing. He appears confused by this guy’s phrasing, then pissed when he concluded that this was probably some stupid gotcha moment instead of a conversation.
Every time this video is posted in each of the shady corners of the Internet, it is titled, “Dawkins accused protestors of antisemitism…” but never shows that part.
Stupid propaganda bullshit. He says crappy things sometimes I think, but stop being desperate
