>The chief premise of the Dawkins case then was that we should never believe in anything (viz the existence of God) for which we do not have factual evidence. So I asked him if he believed that it was wrong to hurt people unnecessarily. And, of course, he replied that he did. I then asked him what his evidence was for that belief: a question to which there can be no answer because beliefs of this kind are not based on “evidence”.

Isn't pain, itself, enough evidence?
Dissecting doctrines can get pretty dopey.
