Letter: Atheist on a mission to confuse
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Oh yes, on his own terms Richard Dawkins is so right (Letters, 12 August). Let the children be taught religion both true and false. Any self-respecting atheist very properly wants to sow religious confusion in young minds. After all, there is only one necessary dogma, and that is neo-Darwinism.
No contradictions of course can be allowed there. The arguments which seem to refute neo-Darwinism must never be taught alongside the sacred dogma itself. Orthodoxy must prevail.
