And I love this campaign. About time people had such a thing shoved down their throats, as it's just what every other religion has been doing for years.

Israel are killing Arabs and keeping them in concentration camp conditions.
Is 'well, someone did the same to us' a good enough response?

exactly are you comparing to Gaza in that clearly loaded comment?
I'm talking about the world in which I live in. In Britain in the 21st century.
And no I don't cocoon myself away, with fingers in my ears going 'la la la' before you try that one.

It's just as bad as enforcing Christianity, or any other religion on the public.

One of the reasons this is happening is to spark debate as the whether this should be allowed at all. Because people like this guy wont drive his bus, there's no reason for someone that doesn't believe to refuse to work if the tables are turned.
There's a lot of reasons why this is happening, you'd have to look up Dawkins' websites for details. But, the fact of the matter is, it's doing the job, which is good for society.

but the whole thing just seems rather hypocritical to me.
I'm reading The God Delusion at the moment, and the overwhelming sense I get from it is that Dawkins' over-zealousness makes him his own worst enemy.

but have to admit I'm rather enjoying watching the backlash.
Dawkins is great at what he does, but he's no politician. I don't think he's over zealous, just very harshly pointing out that to date scientific evidence has never supported any notion of 'god' or 'gods'
