As a poor college student I educated all three of my children for 10 years on 100 bucks per child per year.. utilizing the free resources of the library, museums, parks and the best free state curriculums via web.. I was so successful the local school board asked for my curriculum.. My babes are now all honor roll students and my eldest is attending a meeting w/ Columbia and Rice today..
Perhaps such views as belief in the "invisible authoritarian as the only way to human progress" blinds one from seeing humanistic solutions...
Universal education does not require war... it does require will and effort to help solve problems however.. rather than distractions into trying to prove belief and faith with science..
The uneducated will not only be less likely to understand Dawkins.. they will not understand much that is necessary to comprehend what the educated produces for and against their benefit.. Irrationality is part and parcel with ignorance..
The type of education where one is centrally beholden to invisible deities is unnecessary either way...
BTW you can be poor and atheist.. you can even be dumb and atheist.. However the likelihood that you will be dumb is lessened when you apply critical thinking to notions of cosmology.. and the likelihood that you increase your interest and learning increases the chance that you will utilize resources to improve your own well being..
As I understand it Norway is the best place for moms to live.. It is wealthy and dominated with atheists..
The alternative is to wait on the Gods to speak to someone in a dream? please..
