I really have nothing against those individuals who believe in God if it gives their lives some sort of (false) meaning. Just don't try and tell me these people are of the same worthiness to society as the rest of us.

Religion is a "virus" (Dawkins) that affects people from all walks of life.
Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins explains why God is a delusion, religion is a virus, and America has slipped back into the Dark Ages.
