Dawkins’ anti-gospel

The Health and Wealth Prosperity teachers are a blight upon Christianity. They offer a dumbed-down and exploitative version of the gospel, which turns it from something beautiful into something ugly. It’s some-thing which all decent Christian teachers should warn against.

Now it appears that the New Atheist Fundamentalists have their own Health and Wealth Prosperity evangelist. Richard Dawkins has returned to the fray with a new book, Outgrowing God, which demonstrates all the qualities of the worst tele-evangelist.

Exploitative

The Guardian is right when it describes Outgrowing God as ‘an accessible, “junior” version of The God Delusion (2006)’.
