"Non-fundamentalist (i.e., moderate) religion is accused of making it
easier for fundamentalist religion to survive. How? Because, as Dawkins
notes, religion (both moderate and fundamentalist) promotes faith. Faith
limits discourse, restricts the sort of questions that can be asked,
and thus fosters delusion. By teaching their children that strong faith
is virtuous, especially when one's faith is tested and manages to
survive, believers strengthen all religion - not merely the moderate
type."
