"Unfortunately it is not free. It comes with baggage that includes an implicit message that a beautiful universe = rational thinking = atheism... and this is just a foot in the door for a marketing machine aimed squarely at the hearts and minds of impressionable kids. A beautiful universe implements a renewed reincarnation, not a rehashed atheism. "By celebrating atheism they are also celebrating a belief that their brains are primitive"D J Wrayhttp:///www.atotalawareness.com"

"The only baggage that comes with the truth is the responsibility to live your life accordingly. Brains are not primitive - they are the tools we have to work with. Primitive are the ideologies and thought processes espoused by religions that were begun many years ago by people who didn't have the understanding of the natural world which we have today. Atheism has nothing to do with "celebrating" an ideology - it is merely accepting and striving to understand our universe as it is without resorting to supernatural explanations."

"Firstly, these videos are amazing. I watched them about 2 years ago and the only things to have dated are Richard's appalling shirts. This was a long time before The God Delusion so Bible bashers should be at least happy to hear that these videos don't push atheism. @ D J Wray You're an idiot. Atheism cannot celebrate the belief that our brains are primitive because it is not a belief system. You accuse Dawkins, but it appears that you are the one mixing up evolution and atheism. That said, evolution shows us that out brains are advanced as they have ever been (anything but primitive) and if they continue in the direction of the last couple of hundred years they will continue to advance. I checked out your site. Pseudoscience FTL"

"So why do you have a photo of The God Delusion?"

"I was wondering why there was a big shot of The God Delusion, too - it seems a little misleading to me. The Royal Institute Christmas lectures I've seen have nothing to do with trying to prove or disprove the existence of God. As an atheist myself, I'd say that giving every school a copy of The God Delusion would be bordering on inflammatory behaviour; the Christmas lectures, on the other hand, don't get involved in the belief debate at all. And regardless of his religious orientation, Dawkins is a fine scientist and an entertaining speaker. So, yeah, why the implication from the image that he'd be pushing an antireligious agenda?"

"Money is always issue number one. But let's not forget the battleground fought most fervently, that of the American youth. These are children born under the present contending superpower. Let's not forget that they need to recognize superstition from reality. Thank you for what you have done and hope that you can do more to change the course of history here in my own country. I am doing what I can with the limited influence I have. "
