Accepting/Rejecting "Atheism" as a label.

[Confused Ape]

More about Richard Dawkins. In his own article he's objecting to things like this -

When Richard Dawkins, the world-famous evolutionary biologist, and Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, took the stage at the United Kingdom's University of Oxford for a discussion over the origins of nature on Thursday, almost everyone thought the university had pitted an atheist against a Christian. Almost everyone was wrong.
Dawkins revealed that he is in fact not an atheist as he is not 100 percent sure God doesn't exist.

Then there's the description to this video.

Richard Dawkins, formerly the world's most famous believer in atheist Dogma™, has officially converted to agnosticism. Make no mistake, fan bois -- he clearly states that he is NOT an atheist.

Because there is no evidence at all for atheist Dogma™, he has finally come to terms with the fact that it is illogical and irrational to posit the silly claim that God could somehow not exist.

Actually, I have gained a lot of respect for the man, because this kind of honesty is truly a virtue. I wonder how many of his mindless followers (if any) will begin to develop some intellectual honesty on this philosophical point now, as he has done -- honesty that has been glaringly absent thus far.

If any of them do, that would be refreshing.

God bless you, Mr. Dawkins!

Richard Dawkins hasn't converted to agnosticism or revealed that he's really an agnostic when he claimed to be an atheist. He's always been a De facto atheist which looks like another way of saying agnostic atheist.
