Dawkins: The U.S. Bible Belt Tour

Category: Atheism
Posted on: December 23, 2007 8:52 AM, by Greg Laden

Richard Dawkins, Billy Graham style, will embark on a lecture tour through the American South and Midwest in late winter 2008.

The Bible Belt is a lot less monolithic than it portrays itself. I have a feeling that there is rather a large groundswell of people who agree with me. I may be preaching to the choir but I think the choir is larger than many people realise.

Quipped Dawkins in a recent interview.

The American tour is being organised by a charitable foundation set up by Dawkins in the United States to push his agenda after a year-long struggle with the tax authorities. The campaign will go global in 2009 to mark the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of his book, On the Origin of Species.

What say we quit our jobs, get a van and follow him around the country? I am sure your wife would understand.

I mean, we would be living cleanly, after all. We wouldn't be doing drugs or picking up women.

Instead of being DeadHeads we could be Dawkobots!
