Perhaps many are familiar with those reassuring words that Christians often say in church and during good times, but few people probably know that they came from a song.
You think I’m an ignorant savage. And you’ve been so many places; I guess it must be so. But still I cannot see, if the savage one is me. Now can there be so much that you don’t know? You don’t know…”
Dawkins laid out his definitions of terminology on theist, deist, and pantheist. He referred to deism as a "watered-down theism" while pantheism as "sexed-up atheism". Of course, with theism, he refers to the belief in the traditional supernatural deity who created everything and comes in from time to time to bend natural laws and interfere with human events. So, with respect to his definitions, I do see his point.
