"My last vestige of 'hands off religion' respect……" — Richard Dawkins

My last vestige of 'hands off religion' respect disappeared in the smoke… - Richard Dawkins

"My last vestige of 'hands off religion' respect disappeared in the smoke and choking dust of September 11th 2001, followed by the 'National Day of Prayer,' when prelates and pastors did their tremulous Martin Luther King impersonations and urged people of mutually incompatible faiths to hold hands, united in homage to the very force that caused the problem in the first place."

— Richard Dawkins
