Many British scientists say Richard Dawkins misrepresents science

Most British scientists cited in study feel Richard Dawkins’ work misrepresents science

 

[Penelope]

In her book she mentions her most recent finding that at least 50% of scientists consider themselves to have religious traditions. Some of Ecklund's other findings about scientists' self descriptions:

• 34% were atheist (12% of which also call themselves spiritual), 30% were agnostic, 27% had some belief in God (9% have doubts but affirm their belief, 5% have occasional belief, 8% believe in a higher power that is not a personal God), and 9% of scientists said they had no doubt of God's existence. While more atheistic than the rest of the U.S. population, the research demonstrates that about a third (36%) of these scientists maintain some belief in God, a considerably smaller proportion than the approximately 90% in the general American population.
• Most scientists who expressed some belief in God considered themselves "religious liberals".
• Some atheist scientists still considered themselves "spiritual".
• Religious scientists reported that their religious beliefs affected the way they think about the moral implications of their work, not the way they practice science.[2]

I guess he needs to hang out with the 50% that are non religious.
