Famous quote by Richard Dawkins

"One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all"

About this Quote

This quote by Richard Dawkins speaks to the idea that religious beliefs can be a source of incorrect convenience. Religion can provide answers to tough questions, but these responses may not be based in reality. Rather, they may be based upon faith or tradition, and may not offer any genuine insight into the problem at hand. This can lead to a false sense of security, as people might be satisfied with answers that are not actually responses. This can cause a lack of critical thinking and an objection to check out other possibilities. Ultimately, this can lead to a lack of development and a stagnancy of concepts. Faith can be a source of comfort, but it needs to not be used as a substitute for real responses.
