Dawkins: Don't be a barbarian - read Bible

The eminent and outspoken atheist, Prof Richard Dawkins has said:

...of the King James Bible.


We are a Christian culture, we come from a Christian culture, and not to know the King James Bible is to be, in some way, barbarian. (for the full quote see here)

It is, however, one of the most absurd things that I have ever heard that he goes on to say that "religion should not be allowed to hijack this cultural resource". "Highjack"? Come on, Dicky! Are you seriously arguing that the King James Bible is not inherently, essentially, primarily religious? I think this comment shows that Mr Dawkins is willing to say anything, however ridiculous, to oppose "religion".
