    To be sure, Dawkins is a bit of a prima donna. But I'd take anything sponsored by the Templeton Foundation with a grain of salt.

    The John Templeton Foundation tries to encourage the integration of religious beliefs and free-market principles into the classroom....

    Lev Osherovich Also tied into the Atlas Network / Mont Pelerin Society / Cato Institute disinformation/agnotology network.

    Any research institution predicated on an ideology is doomed to failure. Your only objective can be to seek truth, ideology be damned.

    The same agnotology network, FWIW, that Google is tied into. Many of the same organisations, but also the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, advertising generally (a Faustian bargain Page and Brin wagered and lost), and more.

    Google are Evil.
