This one i recognize as a paraphrasing of a Dawkins quote.

Damm.. I've been caught out again!!!
This particular version is similar to the one from 'root of all evil?' but the more detailed and longer version is in 'The God Delusion' in the chapter 'The Roots of Religion'. And I've heard him mention it on other occasions too. Want me to post the longer version of the quote that's from TGD?
