I once saw Dawkins refer to his views as a "belief system". Indeed, persons who subscribe to a non-theistic belief system* have been generally forced to hold to the following beliefs:
- That life came from non-life.
- That people came from FISH (fish are in mans actual ancestry in evolutionary phylogenetic trees).
- That unintelligent natural processes are sufficient to explain of all the incredible complexity and design around us [this can thus be called the "unintelligent design" movement
* Even those who claim to have "a lack of faith in God" always also have some sort of a belief system and (to be logically consistent) they believe the above points.
