Richard Dawkins recently explained that he self-identifies as a cultural christian. He doesn't believe in Deus, but he enjoys many christian traditions, including carols and hymns. This particular article is written from a Christian perspective, which I do not personally agree with, but it correctly interprets that Dawkins' cultural christianity seems to be a dogwhistle for whiteness. Many atheists like Dawkins are cultural christians, in ways that subtly reinforce white supremacist narratives.

Regardless, this is not the publication to be discussing it and OP has already made an "atheists are actually religious" post, so they have an agenda.

Richard Dawkins sure is a religious atheist. Religion is about a lot more than just theism. It can be a system of spiritual, philosophical, cultural, and/or moral beliefs. There are plenty of religions that have little to nothing to do with gods. For example, Buddhism. There are plenty of Buddhist atheists.

Why do you get to define him?

Why do you get to define anyone but yourself?

Do you tell trans people what their gender is too?

I think a christian publication is entirely within its rights to discuss the words of someone who describes themselves as a cultural christian.

And I don't really care if OP has an agenda or not, I'm answering the points you made on this post.

Okay, just don't be surprised when you see the next post from OP about how atheists aren't really atheists.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

I won't care about that one either.
