But it's one Dawkins would have -- and has had -- a lot of fun with.

Still, I question your tarring of all people who adhere to religious beliefs as ignorant. There are fanatics, of course, and many "believers" who excuse or ignore the fanatics in their midst. But many are not fanatic about their faith, and a few are even saints, who understand the crud at the base of organized religion but choose to follow its higher-order precepts of compassion and love.

(I'm not an adherent to any religion, organized or otherwise, so I'm not grinding an axe of faith here.)
