Darwin Hated Blacks, Richard Dawkins Lies Like a Rug, and Other Facts about Famous Atheists

The author discusses many lies, mistakes, and bizarre statements made by famous atheists. Charles Darwin said in a letter to a friend that he saw nothing wrong with "higher races" exterminating "lower races." Richard Dawkins claimed that Hitler was a Catholic when he was dictator, when the truth is that the pope declared in 1930 that Catholics were not allowed to belong to the Nazi Party. Carl Sagan said, shortly before his death, when Bill Clinton was president, that the education establishment in the United States was deliberately trying to make the American people stupid so they would never question authority. Sagan had no evidence to support this paranoid conspiracy theory. Sam Harris has claimed that the famous Bible scholar Bart Ehrman has said things that he actually never said. There are scores of other examples. Among the other atheists discussed are Edward O. Wilson, Steven Weinberg, Daniel Dennett, A.C. Grayling, Sigmund Freud, and Christopher Hitchens.
