Richard Dawkins at TED
This talk by Dawkins is humorous at times, and asks us to think about an interesting angle; how we should regard the skewed and biased perspective of the religious right in aiding to hi-jack America with its voting numbers, and thereby creating danger in the world.
He suggests that there are many intelligent, caring individuals in America who as of yet do not know how to collectively come together as an organization, but if they did, they could raise a loud enough voice of opposition to what they see is happening.
He goes onto suggest that we should have a coming-out party - to present yourself to the world, your family and friends that you no longer wish to have any allegiance to any sort of religious nonsense because in essence the continual misrepresentation of our physical world into a mystical one is only aiding in dumbing us down, and ultimately allowing horrible crimes to be committed in its name, as in: one religion against another religion and so on...
Watch the video. He says it much better.
