In other words, (Helen) Pluckrose et al. got a lot more attention than I did. And that’s fine.

Additional quotes by Jerry Coyne

For good people to do evil doesn’t require only religion, or even any religion, but simply one of its key elements: belief without evidence—in other words, faith. And that kind of faith is seen not just in religion, but in any authoritarian ideology that puts dogma above truth and frowns on dissent.
