It Turns Out Atheists Can Only Be Critical of Christianity, Not Islam (Or Richard Dawkins Learns The Hard Way)

I generally don't pay much attention to Richard Dawkins. But attention would be paid when he tweeted a picture of himself sitting on a bench in front of Winchester Cathedral (not to be confused with the song) with the thought:

Listening to the lovely bells of Winchester, one of our great mediaeval cathedrals. So much nicer than the aggressive-sounding “Allahu Akhbar.” Or is that just my cultural upbringing?

Needless to say, Dawkins has been blasted as a bigot and an Islamophobe. It turns out Atheists can only be critical of Christianity.

But since when have church bells took aim at innocent people with guns, knives, bombs or vehicles?

In this instance, Richard Dawkins is right. Church bells sound so much nicer.
