Secular Bigots

The atheist Richard Dawkins has sold over one million copies of his book, The God Delusion. In his writing he belittles Anthony Flew (professor at Oxford and Harvard) who has been one of the most prominent philosophical atheists of the last century, who converted in 2004 to the position that the universe has a divine creator. Flew, amazingly, converted! Flew has contended that Dawkins is a "secular bigot" because when he critiques theism (the belief in God), he attacks not the strongest arguments, but ones that are more easily challenged and dismissed. Flew writes...

The fault of Dawkins as an academic was his scandalous and apparently deliberate refusal to present the doctrine that he appears to think he has refuted in its strongest form.
