    Biologists disagree over how, or whether, to define race. But there is NO sensible definition whereby either Judaism or Islam is a race.

        @RichardDawkins Post-modernist biologists define race as something that one feels. :-)

        @kcindric Is that really true? Can you give a citation? I'm sincerely interested.

        @RichardDawkins e.g. http://bit.ly/10ccRmq  and one can spend hours on Tumblr looking at nonsense like that, eg. http://bit.ly/1wmGI8U

        @markusj75 @Sharpzilla Sadly @RichardDawkins has spent his life being told he's clever and was credulous enough to believe it.

        @RichardDawkins Narrow prejudice against a Religion is analogous to same against a Race. Being anti-Islam may not be racist, but it's close.

        @RichardDawkins If religion was a race then being the fan of a particular sports team would be a race too.

        @RichardDawkins Many atheists would consider Judaism a race, ethnic Jews I mean. Maybe it's a taboo subject and therefore isn't discussed.

        @RichardDawkins Judaism not a race, ethnic Jew debatable, but there's no such thing as ethnic Muslim, end of.

        @jlebrech @RichardDawkins It depends on whether or not say you are Ashkenazi or not. Depends on the kind of Jew.

        @jlebrech @RichardDawkins Incase I'm misinterpreted, the Ashkenazi is a cultural group of people, not a denomination
