Quotes by Richard Dawkins: The complete collection of over 200 quotes

By: Regan, Lilith

I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.The meme for blind faith secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry.Complex, statistically improbable things are by their nature more difficult to explain than simple, statistically probable things.Personally, I rather look forward to a computer program winning the world chess championship. Humanity needs a lesson in humility.We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.God exists, if only in the form of a meme with high survival value, or infective power, in the environment provided by human culture.Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.
