- agnosticism makes no sense because there is clear evidence against God
- incompatible with science, cannot contribute to debates because it is bound by myths and legends
- evolution rules out an intelligent designer with a direction
- scripture is pure fiction, the same way as The DaVinci Code
- irreducible complexity does not disprove evolution nor does it prove God
- proving God's existence with reason is no more than a word game
- universe is not fine-tuned for our life
- cosmological constants do not rule out chance
- if the universe was only slightly different, we wouldn't exist
- multiverse is possible, ours is not special
- religion allows immoral and evil actions
- what kind of loving father would sacrifice his son?
- leads to violent and irrational actions

- he makes an ontological reduction
- meaning of life cannot be reduced to survival and evolutionary process
- idea that a complex system is only a sum of parts, can be reduced to individual components
- his argument leads to determinism
- all actions are determined by previous events and conditions
- leads to denial of personal responsibility
- religion comparison with viruses is weak
