The Theology that Created Richard Dawkins

Authors

  • Gustavo Cangussú Góes

Keywords:

Richard Dawkins, God, Liberal Theology, Science.

Abstract

Richard Dawkins in his book The God Delusion created a huge impact among
the Christian community, questioning the very existence of God and posing some
questions that require an answer from religious authorities, especially from Christians. Even though his arguments are out-of-date, it's interesting to observe that their origins came from hollow Christianity of liberal theology. The author of this work proposes a reading of Dawkins' life and his existential context and his close relationship to liberal theology.
