Atheist Camp

I'm not convinced by the argument that atheism is "so intellectually unappealing that only very clever people can believe in it " ( not that the veracity of atheism is affected in any way by who believes in it), but nonetheless professional atheists* appear to agree with that proposition and so are going to make it more appealing to 'tards:

GIVE Richard Dawkins a child for a week’s summer camp and he will try to give you an atheist for life.

The author of The God Delusion is helping to launch Britain’s first summer retreat for non-believers, where children will have lessons in evolution and sing along to John Lennon’s Imagine.

As a militant agnostic I have no dog in this fight, but isn't one of the key complaints by Dawkins and other evangelical atheists against organised religion the indoctrination of children before they are old enough to make up their own minds?

* Among the recent wave of atheist authors- Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, Grayling & Dennett -Daniel Dennett is by far the most thoughtful and the only one who takes a balanced view of the subject.

I am an equal opportunities offender so if anyone has similar quality footage of that nutter from Christian Voice I'd be happy to post that too.
