<p>The lyrics:</p>
<blockquote><p>Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker,<br />
Fuck the motherfucker hes a fucking motherfucker.<br />
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the fucking fucker,<br />
Fuck the motherfucker hes a total fucking fucker<br />
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker,<br />
Fuck the mother fucker, fuck him, fuck the motherfucker.<br />
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucking pope.</p>
<p>Fuck the motherfucker, and fuck you motherfucker<br />
If you think that motherfucker is sacred.<br />
If you cover for another motherfucker whos a kiddy-fucker,<br />
Fuck you, youre no better than the motherfucking rapist.<br />
And if you dont like the swearing that this motherfucker forced from me<br />
And reckon it shows moral or intellectual paucity<br />
Then fuck you motherfucker, this is language one employs<br />
When one is fucking cross about fuckers fucking boys</p>
<p>I dont give a fuck if calling the pope a motherfucker<br />
Means you unthinkingly brand me an unthinking apostate.<br />
This has nowt to do with other fucking godly motherfuckers<br />
Im not interested right now in fucking scriptural debate.<br />
There are other fucking songs and there are other fucking ways,<br />
Ill be a religious apologist on other fucking days,<br />
But the fact remains if you protect a SINGLE kiddy fucker<br />
Then Pope or Prince or Plumber, youre a fucking mother fucker.</p>
<p>See I dont give a fuck what any other motherfucker<br />
Believes about Jesus and his motherfucking mother.<br />
Ive no problem with the spiritual beliefs of all these fuckers<br />
While those beliefs dont impact on the happiness of others,<br />
But if you build your church on claims of fucking moral authority<br />
And with threats of hell impose it on others in society,<br />
Then you, you motherfuckers, can expect some fucking wrath<br />
When it turns out youve been fucking us in our motherfucking asses.</p>
<p>So fuck the motherfucker, and fuck you motherfucker<br />
If youre still a motherfucking papist.<br />
If he covered for a single motherfucker whos a kiddy-fucker,<br />
Fuck the motherfucker, hes as evil as the rapist.<br />
And if you look into your motherfucking heart and tell me true<br />
If this motherfucking stupid fucking song offended you,<br />
With its filthy fucking language and its fucking direspect,<br />
If it made you feel angry, go ahead and write a letter,<br />
But if you find me more offensive than the fucking possibility<br />
The pope protected priests when they were getting fucking fiddly<br />
Then listen to me motherfucker &#8211; this here is a fact,<br />
You are just as morally misguided as that motherfucking,<br />
Power-hungry, self-aggrandized bigot in the stupid fucking hat.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>In these off-the-record interviews, playwright, filmmaker and self-described atheist Jonathan Miller filmed conversations with six of today’s leading men of letters and science: the biologist and New York Times best-selling author Richard Dawkins, philosophers Daniel Dennett and Colin McGinn, distinguished playwright Arthur Miller, theologian Denys Turner and Nobel Prize winning physicist Steven Weinberg, who discuss their personal intellectual journeys and offer an illuminating analysis of nontheism from a wide range of perspectives.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is one of a 6-part series featuring leading leaders in Atheism. Other conversations are with Daniel Dennet, Denys Turner, Arthur Miller, Steven Weinberg, and Colin McGinn.</p>

<blockquote><p><strong>Richard Dawkins</strong> is a British biological theorist with a background in ethology. He is a popular science author focusing on evolution.</p>
<p>Dawkins is one of Britain&#8217;s best-known academics. He came to prominence with his 1976 book <em>The Selfish Gene</em>, which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term <em>meme</em>. In 1982, he further developed the gene-centred view with his book <em>The Extended Phenotype:The Gene as the Unit of Selection</em>, emphasizing that the phenotypic effects of genes are not necessarily limited to an organism&#8217;s body but can stretch via biochemistry and behaviour into other organisms and the environment. He is well-known as a presenter of the case for rationalism and scientific thinking. His later works continued to expand upon these ideas and their implications.</p>
<p>Dawkins is one of the world&#8217;s most widely publicised atheists. He is a prominent critic of religion, creationism and a wide variety of pseudoscience. In his 1986 book <em>The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design</em>, he argued against the watchmaker analogy, an argument for the existence of a supernatural creator based upon the complexity of living organisms. Instead, he described a dysteleological perspective on the process of evolution by natural selection as &#8220;blind&#8221;, without a design or a goal. In his 2006 million-selling book <em>The God Delusion</em>, he contended that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist, writing that such beliefs, based on faith rather than on evidence, qualify as a delusion. He was a co-founder of the Out Campaign, as a means of advancing atheism and freethought.</p>
<p>Dawkins retired from Oxford University in 2008 and remains a writer and public figure.</p></blockquote>
