Is Richard Dawkins a "Christian"?
Manage episode 411308917 series 2526822
In an interview on April 1, Richard Dawkins gave an "Easter message" in an interview.
Expressing his concern about the spread of Islam in the UK, Dawkins called himself a "cultural Christian." He likes to live in a "Christian culture" but he is "not a believer" and doesn't "believe a word of the Christian faith."
While some claim this is a "change" from Dawkins' past, I remain skeptical.
Let's look at some verses in the Bible to see if claiming to be a "cultural Christian" makes one a "Christian" in any meaningful way.
