These posters are inspired by an excellent interview by Dawkins for a news channel. What was different about this interview was that as soon as the interviewer said “….you are also an atheist”, Dawkins retorted saying “Aren’t you?”.

With no name to call my very own

The universe is and will be
No mystery lurks in far away places
Wisdom changes, it changes you
You see different, you see new
All that’s there is here right now

Finds and fosters unseen friends

Are we hung by strings controlled like puppets? Read the full story
An unknown entity
An instilled fear
Fear brings comfort
It brings order.
‘Consequence’
The word calls for conformity
Thoughts often rearranged
Hearts taught to surrender
Till no questions asked
No answers sought.
The confused sheep comply
To unwritten laws of good and bad. Read the full story
