The Root of All Evil Part 2

In part two of his documentary Dawkins steps up his rhetoric regarding the viral nature of religion. In fact, Dawkins calls the religious indoctrination of children a form of child abuse. Dawkins and his fellow atheist would have us believe that humanity through the use of reason has evolved and no longer needs God. Accordingly, it is humanities stubborn cling to the notion of a divine being that holds back progress in the modern world, according to the New Atheists. Despite their claims to the contrary, the Atheistic Trinity and their followers are exercising faith when they chose not to believe in God. Psalm 14:1 states, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." Scripture depicts Atheism for what it truely is, a system of belief that requires faith to believe. Christian Apologist Norman Geisler summarizes the situation when he writes, "every world view including Atheism requires faith to believe."(1)

"Even skeptics have faith. They have faith that skepticism is true. Likewise,
agnostics have faith that agnosticism is true. There are no neutral positions
when it comes to beliefs. As Phillip Johnson so aptly put it, One who claims to
be a skeptic on one set of beliefs is actually a true believer in another set of
beliefs. In other words, atheists, who are naturally skeptical about
Christianity, turn out to be true believers in atheism."(2) That is why
according to Dr. Geisler Atheism requires more faith to believe than
Christianity.(3)
