"... the scientific outlook making people mistake religious meaning for scientific meaning , causing them to either think the Bible must be scientifically true because it 's religiously meaningful , or that it must be religiously meaningless because it 's scientifically false . Richard Dawkins and the average creationist make the same fundamental mistake - the greeks would say they mistook 'muthos ' ( myth , allegory ) for 'logos ' ( reason , science )"
"There 's more to the adoption of an atheistic stance than just rejecting the bible because it 's scientifically false . 'The bible is scientific nonsense , therefore there is no god ' is not a logical stance . Modern-day citizens are far more likely to be aware of the sheer range of religious views in human cultures , past and present , and the consequent improbability that just one of them ( and hey , waddaya know ? It 's mine ! ) is wholly true and all the others wholly false . This leads some into woolly New-Age-ist pick-and-mixing ; others to conclude that the world 's religions are all the product of a similar , purely mundane , process of cultural evolution , and that none actually reflects fundamental truths ."
