To an honest judge, the alleged marriage between religion and science is a shallow, empty, spin-doctored sham.Richard Dawkins
A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory.Richard Dawkins
It would be intolerant if I advocated the banning of religion, but of course I never have.Richard Dawkins
We've all been brought up with the view that religion has some kind of special privileged status. You're not allowed to criticise it.Richard Dawkins
To fill a world with religion, or religions of the Abrahamic kind, is like littering the streets with loaded guns. Do not be surprised if they are used.Richard Dawkins
The very idea that we get a moral compass from religion is horrible. Not only should we not get our moral compass from religion, as a matter of fact we don't.Richard Dawkins
People really, really hate their religion being criticized. It's as though you've said they had an ugly face; they seem to identify personally with it.Richard Dawkins
Disagreements between incompatible beliefs cannot be settled by reasoned argument because reasoned argument is drummed out of those trained in religion from the cradle.Richard Dawkins
If saying that religion should be a private matter and should not have special influence in public life is illiberal, then 74% of U.K. Christians are illiberal, too.Richard Dawkins
