> dhw: If, however, American society is indeed as hostile to atheism as he says it is, I would certainly support his "coming out" campaign. And perhaps it needs militancy if it is to overcome the prejudices of a predominantly religious society. But militancy breeds militancy, and it seems to me that rational arguments might in the long run pay greater dividends than Dawkins' generally polemical and in my view extremely superficial approach to the subject in both his book and his lecture.-This is a much more believing country than most of Western societies. I think we have pinned down Dawkins in these past exchanges. I await Romansh's point of view clarified.
