Richard Dawkins with an interesting tweet

Before we rejoice at the death throes of the relatively benign Christian religion, let’s not forget Hilaire Belloc’s menacing rhyme:
“Always keep a-hold of nurse
For fear of finding something worse

... for fear of find something worse" is the end of the rhyme.
He's right. Its hard to imagine a world without Christianity. It may not be the utopia all liberal atheists think it will be

Please explain...
I guess he is saying Christianity is dying? Am I right?

He’s saying that while as an atheist the demise of Christinity is something to be celebrated, there are far more fanatical and dangerous ideologies and religions.

What has replaced Christianity is a government full hedonistic self absorbed autocrats.
And I am not religious.

He's made comments like that in the past, that there is real value in having the worldview and belief system of Christianity in the world because its followers (when they act consistently with their professed beliefs) tend to have a very positive affect on the world in terms of morality.
Moral relativism (the natural result of atheism) is a bankrupt ideology built on the concept of "might makes right", and we all know that might does not make right.

It’s pretty self-explanatory

A lot of political commentators are thinking that it’s being replaced by nihilism. Nihilism can not sustain itself and will inevitably collapse on itself for even more dangerous ideologies like communism and Islam.
I don’t think Dawkins and Sam Harris are nihilists, but I think many of their thoughts have led to its growth. Dawkins has admitted that currently Christianity is relatively harmless compared to other ideologies, and I think that is his point here.

All you have to do is look at the depravity of our culture to see where atheism has gotten us. School shootings mass bombings. Evil is rising.

"It’s pretty self-explanatory"
If that is what he means, then he would be incorrect. Christianity in the west is stagnant, Christianity in Africa, Latin America and Asia is spreading rapidly.

I agree, but say something about those fundamental beliefs of Islam and suddenly you're an "Islamophobe".
How dumb is that??

Such an asinine response. If everyone was a true Christian there would be no wars , crime, divorce, child molesters, etc. Read and study what Jesus taught and not what man has done and you will see what I mean.

I don't think many atheists actually want to see a world without Christianity. They just don't want it have any involvement with government.

If he can tweet,then he can still be a game show host!
Let's get him back on Family Feud.

The government is merely a symptom of the underlying problem. Nihilism is what is occurring across America, Europe, and Japan. I think that both SJWs and Trumpkins are nihilists just worshipping the Many Faced God that represents nothing and has no central morals. The nihilists only solution is to burn everything down, and once it has been burnt down, they’re left with their dicks in their hands and realize someone with rigid morals has come in and built a far worse society around them.
Communists and Islamists have very rigid ideologies and principles. They’re bad ideologies and principles built on moral depravities, but they are centrally focused. An SJW or a Trumpkin has no idea what they’re centrally focused on, since the former welcomes genocidal maniacs like Linda Sarsour into their mix, and Trumpkins will believe anything Trump tells them even if he said the exact opposite thing the day before. SDVTiger basically admitted it last night that he doesn’t remotely care that Trump has no central morals, which makes him a nihilist with no moral compass to speak of as far as I can tell.
