In his book, The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins argued that you cannot be an intelligent scientific thinker and still hold any religious beliefs. This widespread opinion is held by many, especially those in the world of academia, where the rising generation will almost certainly encounter this potential obstacle to their faith.
