Richard Dawkins has a website called "Converts Corner" which I found thanks to Jerry Coyne's website where he wrote this:
"I’d disagree with the general statement that science skepticism can’t be remedied by science education. It’s true, for instance, that teaching people about evolution, as I did in my book WEIT, can’t make most Americans accept purely naturalistic evolution (only about 20% do). But it can change some minds. I have emails to this effect, and of course Richard Dawkins has many more testimonies on his “Converts Corner” (see here; there are 159 pages!) about how his evolution books 'converted' people not just to Darwinism, but deconverted them from religion."
I recommend looking at the 159 pages of Converts Corner. These are from people who used to be extremely god-soaked (aka insane) and now they are hardcore atheists (aka normal). It's thanks to Mr. Dawkin's books about evolution and his book "The God Delusion". Evolution kills religious stupidity.
An example:
I was a born again, bible believing fundamentalist christian for over 20 years. I began questioning what I believed around five years ago as I learned more about science and philosophy. I first read the blind watchmaker and it shattered my belief in creationism. Later I read the god delusion and since then, I came out and declared myself an atheist. Thank you Dr. Dawkins for opening my eyes to reality, my life is so much better now that I don’t have to fear bronze age mythology.

If Christian fucktards ever learned how to study science, especially evolution, they would learn how to grow up and face facts. Christians are Christians because they go out of their way to know nothing. It's a stupidity problem. No curiosity, no desire to understand how the world works. Almost always the stupid can't be fixed but some of these victims of religious brainwashing did fix their problem. They have my respect.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
