LETTER : Uncritical church aids Dawkins

Sir: Gordon Whitehead states that God is a just God and accuses Richard Dawkins of basing his opinions on only some of the relevant knowledge available to him. But if there were a just God he would, according to Bertrand Russell, expect men to make proper use of the reason with which he has endowed them and as he has not supplied them with sufficient evidence for believing in his existence, he would be displeased with those who did so, like Gordon Whitehead, and pleased with those, like Dawkins, who did not.
