RICHARD DAWKINS quits atheism foundation for its backing of TRANSGENDER 'RELIGION'

British evolutionary biologist, zoologist Richard Dawkins has recently resigned from the board of the Freedom from Religion Foundation over his opposing views about gender. An aggressive proponent of atheism, Dawkins has long insisted that science is a logical and evidence-driven discipline, while also asserting that spiritual and theological pursuits are follies of those deluded and deceived. And yet, he now oddly finds himself in line with the Bible's teachings on what gender actually is (but not from WHOM it was created / given), as he has rejected the widespread, non-binary, gender-bending / morphing agenda that has enveloped the thinking of some many across the Western world in recent years. And thus, as a scientist, he has concluded that those who insist that gender supersedes neat categories of male and female (or can be chosen) are following an unscientific and clearly agenda-driven belief, which often includes a desire to silence voices that disagree with it.

See here as Dawkins explains his resignation: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/ ... ns-rights/ why Dawkins resigned the foundation board, over what he insists is a censoring, anti-science biased, culturally driven agenda concerning its views on gender.

Genesis 1:27: "So God created humankind in His own tzelem, in the tzelem Elohim (image of G-d) created He him; zachar (male) and nekevah (female) created He them."

Genesis 5:2: "Male and female created he them."
