    Dawkins sets up kids’ camp to groom atheists

    Richard Dawkins is running a summer camp for/to make atheists:

    Sunday Times
    GIVE Richard Dawkins a child for a week’s summer camp and he will try to give you an atheist for life.
    The author of The God Delusion is helping to launch Britain’s first summer retreat for non-believers, where children will have lessons in evolution and sing along to John Lennon’s Imagine.
    I think it's something which is an interesting idea - as non believers need to think about the bigger mysteries of life - but also I imagine Dawkins is revelling in his status as the bad-boy of militant atheism !

    He probably got the idea from the states which has something similar. Not sure it's altogether necessary in the UK but it can't hurt.

    I am an agnostic but Dawkins is a little bit too smug for my liking. Give me Christopher Hitchens any day.

    Oh great. We have had religious indoctrination of children. Now we have athiestic indoctrination of children. Why can't people just leave children alone and let them reach conclusions for themselves?

    The words "groom" and "kids" in the thread title?

    Do try to avoid such loaded language.
