Quote by Richard Dawkins

If children understand that beliefs should be substantiated with evidence, as opposed to tradition, authority, revelation or faith, they will automatically work out for themselves that they are atheists.

If children understand that beliefs should be substantiated

Summary

It suggests that when children are taught to question and seek evidence for their beliefs rather than blindly accepting traditions, authority, or faith, they are more likely to come to the conclusion of atheism. By encouraging children to think critically, the quote suggests that atheism can be a natural outcome when beliefs are examined and supported by empirical evidence.
