Bias is a human trait, not a Christian one.

One type of cognitive bias is confirmation bias, the tendency to interpret new information in such a way that confirms one's prior beliefs, even to the extreme of denial, ignoring information that conflicts with one's prior beliefs.

Dawkins said it himself.

Like most atheists Dawkins believes in his mind that it is possible that the Universe could come to exist out of nothing and eventually form reality as we know it through a long string of coincidences.

Still somehow he believes in his mind that it is impossible for a creator to exist out of nothing and intentionally form a reality.

Yet Dawkins knows that our reality relies on functionally complete systems to exist, which could not have evolved piece by piece.

Dawkins also knows about mathematical absurdity and of Fundamental Formula Of Gambling, yet he is willing to bet his SOUL against it.

Its called bias and it goes both ways.
