Dawkins: "Protect Children From Religion"

As the very Last Days come into view, Bible believers will have a more difficult time instilling a biblical world view onto their children.  One day it may even become illegal to tell your kids the true story of Noah or any story the government deems untrue.

Today we find famous atheist Richard Dawkins in the news saying parents should not be allowed to tell their kids about God and their religion.

DUBLIN, March 4, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The government needs to protect children from the religious views of their own parents, according to popular atheist writer Richard Dawkins.

His speaking partner went further, comparing parents instilling their religious views in their children could be compared to denying them medical treatment.

In an interview prior to a speech at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, last week, Dawkins told the media that parents have too much influence in their children's education, especially when it comes to religion.

“There is a balancing act and you have to balance the rights of parents and the rights of children, and I think the balance has swung too far towards parents,” Dawkins told the Irish Times. “Children do need to be protected so that they can have a proper education and not be indoctrinated in whatever religion their parents happen to have been brought up in.”

He added, "You have to write off those people" who value the Bible over science.

Dawkins was in Ireland, along with physicist Lawrence Krauss as part of a tour promoting Arizona State University’s Origins Project. He also came to lend his support to the activist group Atheist Ireland, which is promoting a campaign to remove religious education from schools.

Krauss concurred with Dawkins, saying the state must restrict parental rights as part of its mandate to "properly educate its children."

“That means parents have a limited, it seems to be, limited rights [sic] in determining what the curriculum is,” Krauss said.

So Dawkins wants to "write those people off" who value the Bible over science.  Of course that would include most readers of this blog.
