Abstract:

Richard Dawkins is one of the contemporary neo-Darwinists who entered the theological issues with a biological approach, including the origin of religion and the quality of its origin. Dawkins does not have a correct understanding of the truth of religion and is extremely pessimistic about it, And he has a homogenous view of all religions, And for this reason, Richard Dawkins has denied the superhuman nature of religion, and tries to explain the stages of the origin of religion by relying on materialistic and evolutionary principles. He has drawn the three stages of "genetic", "memetic" and "organizational" for the origin and formation of religion. Dawkins introduces the principle of the desire for religion in humans as a result of deviation and deviation in the stages of human genetic evolution, which is further directed by humans. Dawkins's lack of understanding of religion and man, as well as incorrect epistemological foundations, and the adoption of a wrong method in researching and explaining the issue of religion have led to this view. While extracting the ideas of Richard Dawkins regarding the origin of religion in a library method, the upcoming research has put it in the crucible of criticism.
