Danes feel Obama is greater than Jesus

As for the argument that the Church was politically powerful and the Pope was like a king, I don't see how that helps your case one whit. The Ayatollahs in Iran are politically powerful - does that mean we shouldn't consider it anti-scientific if they imprison or censor scientists whose views they find offensive?

Why not simply admit your anti Christian bigotry, and have done with it, rather than play these word games?
You exhibit have the same problem as Dawkins. He's a good writer and a good scientist. But as was noted in the film Magnum Force, a man's got to know his limitations. He seems not to be self aware.

My problem with Dawkins is that he focuses too narrowly on Christianity in particular and mostly ignores religion in general

That is pretty much my problem with him, his blatant bigotry focused in a particular direction, possibly due to the old problem of familiarity leading to contempt.

Of course, here in Texas, a number of local and vocal Christians keep trying to influence the School Board, at the state level, to pretend that Intelligent Design and the general scientific approach emobied in Evolution are to be equally treated, which is pretty dim. There are plenty of blinders on fools in this world, all looking for a place to star.
