Is This Richard Dawkins' Most Idiotic Quotation? Or Is It Just His Most Stunningly Ignorant Quote About Religion?

"Many of us saw religion as harmless nonsense. Beliefs might lack all supporting evidence but, we thought, if people needed a crutch for consolation, where's the harm? September 11th changed all that."

Just asking. . .

Come to think of it. . . World famous "fundamentalist atheist" if not Atheist Supremacist Richard Dawkins' apparent belief that religion is just "harmless nonsense" lacks supporting evidence.

Les Hommes Ne Font Jamais Le Mal Si Complètement Et Joyeusement Que Lorsqu’ils Le Font Par Conviction Religieuse - Blaise Pascal Pensées

"Les hommes ne font jamais le mal si complètement et joyeusement
que lorsqu’ils le font par conviction religieuse."

Blaise Pascal, philosophe français, (1623-1662)


"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully
as when they do it from religious conviction."

More literally -

"Men never do evil so completely and joyfully
as when they do it from religious conviction."

Blaise Pascal, French philosopher, (1623-1662)
