Richard Dawkins - Mind Virus

How do you know what is good? In 2011, Richard Dawkins, made the statement that religion was like a virus (Richard Dawkins - Religion a Virus, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rG9tUodfKU), or a “mind virus” as he puts it. Well for him to argue against religion, means that he believes in a correct pattern of thinking, one pattern that religious people are not following. What is interesting about this is that this atheist has no foundation for this in his worldview. How does he know wrong thinking from right thinking if he does not believe in an absolute standard of right and wrong?

Born Atheist?


Many atheists argue that man is born into a state of atheism or animism. Is this really the case? Would this not make atheism a lack of choice instead of a conscious decision? When examining this argument closely, does an atheist really want to compare his or her compilation of knowledge which dictates his or her atheistic stance with that of a new born child with no knowledge of the subject? Perhaps atheists do have more in common with a new born baby.

Animism is the attributing of human qualities to our environment and objects around us. Everyone is guilty of this when we act as though our computers are working against us or that we can somehow affect traffic lights. Animism is “the belief that all natural phenomena have souls independent of their physical being” (from Latin anima, soul), Webster’s New World DICTIONARY, Third College Edition)

Animism is considered one of the most ancient religions of the world though not everyone agrees that this common human trait is considered a religion. Basic animism that is found in all humans and more in small children; which is more a sign of confusion then organized thoughts devoted to a deity or deities. Therefore in that sense, animism can hardly be defined as a religion but perhaps as a superstition but certainly not grounds for validating Atheism.
