I did. You’re ignoring other definitions of the word and demanding that only one be allowed.

Atheism is a religion, a system of beliefs. His belief about a deity is that non exist, but it is taken on faith as much as anyone’s belief that God DOES exist.

In behavior, he is a just another fundamentalist religious fanatic. He is NO different than those he condemns.

Main Entry: re·li·gious

3 a : scrupulously and conscientiously faithful b : fervent, zealous

Main Entry: fa·nat·ic

Dawkins fits the definition.

I am sorry. Richard Dawkins is perfect. I never should have criticized him.
