Dawkins, a Cultural Christian?

Matthew 7:17-20 states, “Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”Roots produce fruits.The famous British atheist Richard Dawkins, author of the book “The God Delusion,” said in a recent interview that he identifies as a “cultural Christian” and prefers Christianity to Islam, although he clarified that he does not believe “a word” of the Christian faith.If Dawkins had to choose between Islam and Christianity, He would “choose Christianity every time.”Dawkins and others like him want the fruits and benefits of Christianity without the root of Christianity, which is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.Dawkins is sitting on the proverbial branch and sawing on the wrong side. Can you love to eat and not believe in farms that produce the food?Nature abhors a vacuum.Ideas have consequences and a belief system will lead somewhere.The rise of evil that has come as a result of abandoning God and a Biblical worldview is now dawning upon people. The secular religion of atheism has merely helped to exchange the true and living God for the idolatrous gods of power, war, and perversion and Dawkins and Western Civilization is finding to their horror that we can’t live with the bitter fruit.The words of Jeremiah are applicable to Dawkins and Western Civilization. “For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water” (Jeremiah 2:13). “Your own wickedness will correct you, and your backslidings will rebuke you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing that you have forsaken the Lord your God, and the fear of Me is not in you,” Says the Lord God of hosts” (Jeremiah 2:19).
