Best Answer

As a scientist, Richard Dawkins is strongly of the opinion that ones beliefs should be based on evidence of what is true, and that to believe something without evidence is foolhardy and dangerous. He sees religion as the epitome of belief without evidence, and as such feels a duty to denounce it.
