Atheist Richard Dawkins Wants to be a Cultural Christian

Friday, May 9, 2025 (Updated: Wednesday, September 16, 2026)

Richard Dawkins is a renowned atheist and leader in the New Atheism movement. He spent his professional life championing the rejection of God and the Christian faith. He and the other Four Horsemen of the New Atheism movement are described this way.

The term New Atheism describes the positions of some atheist academics, writers, scientists, and philosophers of the 20th and 21st centuries. New Atheism advocates the view that superstition, religion, and irrationalism should not be tolerated. Instead, they advocate the antitheist view that the various forms of theism should be criticised, countered, examined, and challenged by rational argument, especially when they exert strong influence on the broader society, such as in government, education, and politics.




Major figures of New Atheism include Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens, collectively referred to as the “Four Horsemen” of the movement.

Dawkins has now lived long enough to reap what he has sown and he’s not entirely happy with the results. In this video below, he laments the fact that England is changing. He calls himself a “cultural Christian” who appreciates the lovely churches and Christmas hymns while he disdainfully rejects all the core beliefs of the Christian faith while calling them nonsense. 

If you ever need to show someone a video of what cognitive dissonance looks like in action, this is it. He wants all the benefits of the Christian faith that have girded his native land for centuries while scoffing at the beliefs that made those benefits possible. He wants the comfort and security of how the Christian faith shapes a culture, but makes a living mocking people believing it.

There’s still time to repent, Dawkins. There is still time to bend the knee to Jesus, the Savior and Lord. There is still time to speak up and apologize to all of the people you have led astray, especially the young men. 

You, Richard Dawkins, are a part of why your country is being overrun by the Islam you dislike and collapsing into ruin. You played a significant role in undermining the Christian faith. You are living on the fumes of a Christian kingdom that you spend decades trying to destroy. 

May God have mercy on your soul because your sins against your fellow citizens have been great. The look in your eyes in this video demonstrates you understand that to some degree and are desperate to talk your way out of it.
