"Atheism, after all, is as much a religion as any other in that it is a belief system that can’t be tested, which is the definition of religion. You can no more prove the nonexistence of God than you can prove His existence. Of course, Dawkins’s book The God Delusion, has sold more than 2 million copies and been translated into 31 languages, so perhaps it was a commercial decision to be an atheist."

It's amusing to watch other atheists trying to run interference for Dawkins. First, Dawkins' actual tweet:
@InYourFaceNYer Abort it and try again. It would be immoral to bring it into the world if you have the choice.
And from the comments section:
"It seems to me, Dawkins was saying, it is not immoral to abort a problematic fetus"
Of course, the only way to get from "immoral not to abort" to "not immoral to abort" is by doing violence to the English language. But, hey, we can't have people tarring Dawkins with his actual words, now, can we?
