The Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins has argued that everyone is an atheist. “I have found it an amusing strategy, when asked whether I am an atheist, to point out that the questioner is also an atheist when considering Zeus, Apollo, Amon Ra, Mithras, Baal, Thor, Wotan, the Golden Calf, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I just go one god further.” By this he means that he goes on to deny one additional god, namely that of Abraham, Isaac, and Joseph, as described in the Bible.
