Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins discuss religion in the modern world and debate science in their new film.

Predictably, following the Boston bombings, the "Grand Idiots of Science" surface, touting this as confirmation that "Religion Itself Is Evil" :(
Beyond Belief: Science, Religion, Reason and Survival
The Conversation Continues
Lastly, please inform Steven Weinberg that he should read a history book.
Religion has been the source of great suffering in world history, but the three
greatest killers of all time were atheists. Please recall that Mao was never a
Catholic, Stalin rejected the priesthood, and Hitler had not one religious bone
in his body. Their combined body count is toward the top, around 40 to 70
million people. That beats the Inquisition by a mile.
You can look up my essay on this subject under rpbird on dailyKos.com. A copy is
appended to the end of this email. Congratulations, you are now a member of an
organization I just invented, called The Grand Idiots of Science.
DailyKos Essay: Weinberg, Dawkins, Tyson, Porco, Sloan, and Harris – Idiots of
Science on Parade
This is about the idiocy and the idiots at the La Jolla meeting, "Beyond Belief:
Science, Religion, Reason and Survival." The idiots of science were in attendance: Steven
Weinberg, Richard Dawkins, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Carolyn Porco, Richard P. Sloan,
and Sam Harris. I thought some of them were intelligent, until now.
Science is the best hammer in humanity's toolkit. It is the most useful tool we have.
Because a few religious extremists have irritated the grand idiots of science,
they propose to set up science as a religion. This is the dumbest idea I've ever
heard. It's like a guy who has mice in his house. Instead of setting a few traps
for them, he blows up the house.
