Prominent rationalist-atheists like Dawkins and Harris have been consistently anti-religion, unlike shitlibs, who tend to be pro-Islam
...I think they should spend more time thinking about where cultures and beliefs come from. I'd like them to focus more on biology.

@HbdNrx Yeah, but people who are actually good at biology don't tend to give people shit for being religious. -
@moritheil I think it's clear that Dawkins is quite good at biology. Anti-religion is just a side effect of (first-order) pro-rationality. -
@HbdNrx Dawkins is a solid ethologist, but biologists identified neurochemical reasons people have faith and he's still fighting it. -
@moritheil Seems like a weird blind spot to me. Politically motivated? -
@HbdNrx Yeah, people get most political about things they refuse to accept. -
@moritheil I wonder if it's more calculated because he has too much to lose (look at Watson), or more about deep universalist beliefs
