Per FNM's line of reasoning, if you're getting the most out of being a Satanist, following Satanic tenets, does that mean you're living a christlike life, too? This could be the most convertible religion of all time.
BTW, I don't think Dawkins was wrong with TGD: It broke ground on understanding how theists can possibly think the way they do, and genetic research as well as further work on the idea of such wild and incongruous beliefs as christians, muslims, etc., hold with no problem, has continued to bear this out. Further work by both Dawkins and Dennett on memes and how infectious they can be, and by Sloan Wilson, et al., have opened many people's eyes to just how much of a disease religion may be-and not strictly in an allegorical sense as was once thought.
