Atheist Richard Dawkins: "my reasons for being hostile to religion is that it...."

I disagree with Dawkins on the abortion issue. A person does not need to be religious to oppose the practice of abortion. Abortion is the destruction of human life -- life that would typically develop into a fully-functional human being (any arguments of moral-relativity merely attempt to devalue human life). People can imagine that all sperm cells/eggs have potential to create new life, but that chance is removed once the process is set into motion and human life is formed, and to end that life is murder (no way in getting around this). It's like a bullet and gunpowder have the potential to kill someone, but for it to actually occur is a different story. Many atheists oppose abortion (or have no strong stance on it), and Dawkins should be careful in associating atheism with the abortion debate (apples and oranges).
