Fakeer IshavardasBlind-believers and staunch atheists have the same god - namely, a self-deluded, one's own shadow's bot.
About This Quote
On a typical day, a typical person believes in a lot of things. Most people believe in the existence of a god. Some of those people believe that their god is a benevolent god, and others believe that their god is a malevolent god. In each case, the religious belief is based on faith rather than reason or evidence.
In fact, there is no evidence whatsoever to support the existence of gods. In this quote, Dawkins points out the similarities between blind-believers and staunch atheists. Like blind-believers, staunch atheists do not accept any proof for gods and therefore refuse to change their position based on reasoning and evidence.
Instead, they cling to their beliefs and reject any proof that is contrary to their beliefs.
