Dawkins' passion
Richard Dawkins is today's Bertrand Russell, at least with respect to free-thinking. In God Delusion he writes:
God is "a misogynist, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sado-masochist, capriciously malevolent bully."
Why is Dawkins so aggressively atheistic - much moreso than Russell, in fact? This interview gets at that. He's not just against religion, he's for something he thinks is a lot better.
