ATHEIST RICHARD DAWKINS: CHRISTIANITY HAS THE POWER TO DEFEAT RADICAL ISLAM

From Christianity Today:

Despite spending years criticising Christianity, well-known atheist Richard Dawkins is now admitting that Christianity is much better than Islam. 

Dawkins even conceded that "Christianity may actually be our best defence against aberrant forms of religion that threaten the world," according to The Gospel Herald. 

Dawkins noted that Christianity, unlike Islam, does not make use of violent methods to fulfill its teachings. 

"There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings. I am not aware of any Christian suicide bombers. I am not aware of any major Christian denomination that believes the penalty for apostasy is death," he said. 

He admitted that he has "mixed feelings" concerning the decline of Christianity, because this faith-based group might just be "a bulwark against something worse." 

The atheist reasoned that he constantly attacked Christianity in the past simply because it is the religion he is most familiar with, having attended Christian schools while growing up. 

Even though he was born in Africa, Dawkins and his family moved to England when he was nine years old.
