Now He's Gone and Done It

Richard Dawkins vs. Harry Potter. He's writing a children's book, only this one will lift the veil on the insidious nature of fairy tales. It's one thing to go after the Judeo-Christian myth, but I think he is going to find the public a lot less receptive to giving up their Harry Potter. New Atheism is punchy and polemical in long essay form. Why expose its lack of charm to the rigors of the bedtime story?
