In The Root of All Evil: The God Delusion, British documentarian Richard Dawkins pursues his own misison with religious zeal — to prove that faith is not only irrational, but extremely harmful to humanity, creating “would be murderers over the world.” He’s a hardcore scientist challenging fundamentalists of any faith — Islam, Christianity, Judaism. Dawkins seems justified in his crusade against the Catholic Church’s disastrous sexual politics in AIDs-ridden Africa, or the Christian Rights’ absolute denial of evolution, or Muslims crying for spiritual wars right and left, but in his dogmatic belief that only science can answer all the mysteries of life, Dawkins becomes just as much of a fundamentalist as those he’s opposing. He calls faith “the process of nonthinking” and claims that “there is no well-demonstrated reason to believe in God” — something that might perplex anyone asking who are we, where did we come from, and what is this weird thing we call the universe?

But perhaps Dawkins biggest folly comes from declaring that “there is a profound contradiction between science and religious belief,” something scientists across history - from Pythagoras to Einstein to quantum physicist Amit Goswami would take issue with. While becoming a strident voice for rational thinkers amid the worrying spread of fundamentalistm, Dawkins runs head-first into his own arrogance and loses anyone who isn’t 100% committed to his own brand of thinking. Still, the Google Video is worth checking out for an inside look at some of the stranger fundamentalists lurking out there.
