Newsweek article on Atheist.

Overall a decent profile of Dawkins and Harris.

But it did include passages like this condescending little nugget.
“But for all his erudition, he (Dawkins) seems not to have spent much time among ordinary Christians, who could have told him what God has meant to them.”

I sent in this response;

My question is has Adler spent much time among the ancient Greeks and Romans? Because if he has read Homer, Herodotus or Virgil, for example, he would see how much their Pantheon meant to their lives. Does that give evidence to their Gods’ existence? Or take the people of Meso-America or Ancient Egypt or even today’s believers in UFO abduction, does the impact a belief has on someone constituent proof? This seem to be Adler’s contention.
This, in fact, is precisely Dawkin’s point. Gaining meaning from a belief may be hardwired into the human brain. If so, it is a strong counterargument to the existence of a God.
