I do call myself an atheist, but I do treat religion, how should I say, respectfully, because I find it an extraordinarily interesting phenomenon. I find it very interesting how human beings can come to believe things like this. It is one way in which I differ from Richard Dawkins for example: his argument with religion is that it isn’t true, and that therefore it’s wrong. That’s not my argument with it at all. My argument with religion is that it gets hold of power and uses power for the wrong purpose and becomes corrupted.Philip Pullman, during an interview with Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy, in which he explains his own personal take on atheism, as contrasted with the stand taken by such folks as Dawkins and Hitchens
