Revision as of 05:58, March 16, 2017
, 05:58, March 16, 2017→The film documentary The Atheist Delusion features a humorless Richard Dawkins who is the object of audience laughter
Dawkins has encouraged his supporters to ridicule religious believers and to go beyond humorous ridicule.<ref>[https://shadowtolight.wordpress.com/2012/03/25/dawkins-mock-them-ridicule-them-in-public/ Dawkins: Mock them. Ridicule them!

{{Cquote|It was also found that Christians living in the US had 3.11 children and Catholics had 3.42.
...The team explained that there is evidence that genetically influenced personality traits, particularly agreeableness, lead to greater religious involvement, larger family size and greater communal investment in general.
'A recent meta-analysis of a large sample studies found that adults who score high on agreeableness tend to invest heavily in both religious and family life,' reads the study.<ref name="DailyMailAtheismDying">[Is atheism dying out?
