"Dawkins doesn't appear to be trying to prove God wrong, JUST religion"
Then why is he an atheist? Atheism does not equal “I don’t believe in god" atheism equals "I believe there is no god"
What Dawkins, and other atheists, should be doing is showing the world that we don’t always need to believe in god. Most of us can make it without such absurd thoughts. But instead they try to use science to disprove god, which is completely futile and hypocritical.
I think David Hume expressed how we should deal with organized religion best. He pointed out that the main reason people believe in god is not based on rational evidence. But rather its because many people need moral sets of guidelines that are set by a higher authority in order to judge right and wrong. Of course not everyone needs a personal Jesus to judge right and wrong for them, but for those who do, is it really wise to take it away from them? Let the sheep play because the damage they do without such thoughts and guidelines could be much worse.
