    This issue is a most delicate about Communism history. And largely overlooked. Thank you for giving it attention 👍

    I dont see how Richard Dawkins is "arrogant." Youd also have to call working class atheists who feel the same way "areogant."

    I wonder where Dawkins has said that working people are stupid for being religious and should be ridiculed for it.
    I could imagine him saying that religious ideas are ridiculous, and therefore should be, well... ridiculed.
    And religious leaders are a different bunch, and should be ridiculed for actively leading people astray.
    And ordinary people are victims of religions and religious leaders.
    But I might have missed something, and Dawkins has started to spread other ridiculous ideas himself, though not religious ones.

      I doubt Dawkins has ever said anything specifically about working people but I used to read and listen to him back in the day, and the things he says are drenched in disdain for believers

      @@billcrotts5456 Well, different views, I see disdain for beliefs, not for believers. After all most unbelievers used to be believers. Though Ive always been atheist.
      And as Matt Dillahunty said: "When I turned atheist, my IQ didnt go up".

    This is a misrepresenation of Dawkins, he does not ridicule people he ridicules magical belefs. Dawkins simply prefers the moderate values of for example Anglicanism to the fascistic death cult of Islam. Given the expansion of Islam the problem for socialists is how to defend freedom of belief when libertarian socialists will be the first to suffer under any form of Islamic rule.

    What would you think that because u think god does not exist so every communist are
    I am a very religious Muslim i study sharia low and almost all of it is Market regulation os basically the half of all islam and i am very committed to the revelations and i get that from islam that teaches us to stand in solidarity with everyone who is under unjust ruling by any kind anywhere anytime.
    But just u didn't have evidence that would be enough for u to believe in god but that doesn't mean that who does see that god exists don't know battler or it's just an emotional whiff and u are the reasonable one.
    I find myself speechless when people think that when he/she deny god so he is automatically feels like the smartest guy in the room

      The reason is fairly simple. Provide evidence for your belief in a God, and most atheists will no longer be as such. Belief without evidence indicates there is something in ones reasoning that is compromised.

    It's commentary like this, regurgitating seemingly intelligent strings of words that convince mediocre minds that they actually know something, they don't. There is a real lack of introspective thought with a lot ideas being perpetuated here.

    Highly outdated arguments. Religious metaphysics has progressed much ahead.
