"It is evil to describe a child as a Muslim child or a Christian child. I think labelling children is child abuse and I think there is a very heavy issue, for example, about teaching about hell and torturing their minds with hell.

"It's a form of child abuse, even worse than physical child abuse. I wouldn't want to teach a young child, a terrifyingly young child, about hell when he dies, as it's as bad as many forms of physical abuse."

I suppose when the compassionate Dawkins teaches little children about right and wrong, about following rules and the consequences of breaking them, he will have a light and airy telling of a place called prison where humans go when they keep breaking the law. A happy, non-terrifying, pleasant place to have a time out that will enlighten - not 'torture' - the rule-breaker, and the inquiring little minds. /sarc

For someone who has no belief in God, Mr. Dawkins seems obsessed with the God of Christians and Muslims (and oblivious to the gods of other religions).

Silly man.

Everybody knows you can't go to hell til you're seven!
