Dawkins is writing a book for children to be titled.....OMG! I think I’m an Atheist! A Muslim woman on a BBC TV programme has just said he shouldn’t be writing a book for children as he is not neutral on the subject of religion, as he is a militant atheist. She said this without a trace of irony!
I think it’s a good thing that someone is writing kids books on this subject. Whether Dawkins has it in him to be a children’s author is anybody’s guess.
I don’t know how child friendly it will be, but he was instrumental in setting up the Camp Quest UK in Somerset in 2009. They are stil operating and are affiliated with US camps of the same name . They run summer programmes for children between 9 and 18 and offer a residential and camping experience which encourages critical thinking...so I am sure he knows how to put things over in such a way that children will understand.
Isn't the cognitive dissonance incredible?
I was shouting at the TV this morning!
