Dawkins said: “you and I are too intelligent to believe in religion, but common people need it…you don’t need religion to be moral”

Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins claims that given today’s knowledge of science, even Jesus would have questioned the existence of God if he were living today.

Dawkins’ definition of “God” is too narrow. Although he doesn’t know it, he helped create the New God Argument: http://lincoln.metacannon.net/2010/06/inspired-by-richard-dawkins-god.html

Okay, I remember your argument from Utah in 2010, but I’m re-reading this again now.

Hi, I am from Australia.

Jesus of course was not in any sense a Christian, nor did he found the religion about him, aka Christian-ISM.

Jesus was an outsider, a radical Spiritual Master who taught and demonstrated a universal, non-Christian, non-sectarian Spirit-Breathing Spiritual Way of Life that is Inherent in Reality It-Self and that can be practiced in any time and place, even by the non-humans.
