Re: Richard Dawkins says children need to be ‘protected’ from religion.

I can understand the attraction. When we are children we need and crave a higher authority to tell us what to do and that role is fulfilled by our parents. Once we are adults we are cut adrift from that comfort of someone else who looks after us and guides us in our lives. That is, unless we 'believe' in some higer power. It's a very seductive option and I don't blame people for taking the easy route of religion when the sh*t hits the fan in their lives and they have no where else to turn but faith and belief. It's the way our brains are wired.
