I get in trouble too for saying things much like him (though obviously he says them better) and am regarded as a fundamentalist atheist whereas actually I'm simply sticking to what I understand are the facts, pointing out that what people believe, fairy tales, myths and so on are exactly that (mythical rubbish). Diplomacy, as far as I'm concerned, is the art of saying "Nice Doggy" until I can find a large enough rock (dunno who first said that) so I'm well in there with not being a politician too.

Kyu

Yes, I agree.
Also Dawkins said - and I paraphrase here - : The difference between fundamentalism, and what's simply just passion, is that fundamentalism is what happens if you're passionate about something in the absence of evidence.
It becomes fundamentalism when your passion rejects evidence.
Hope I got that right.
