道金斯的一些关于伊斯兰教的公开言论遭到了强烈反对。2013年，道金斯在推特上写道: “世界上所有的穆斯林获得的诺贝尔奖都比剑桥大学三一学院少。然而，他们在中世纪做了很多伟大的事情。”。2016年，道金斯邀请他在东北科学与怀疑论大会(Northeast Conference on Science and suspicious)上发表演讲，但因为他分享了一段“极具攻击性”的视频，嘲笑女权主义者和伊斯兰主义者”而被撤回。

道金斯是神创论的杰出批评家，神创论是一种宗教信仰，认为人类、生命和宇宙都是由神创造的，不依赖于进化。他将年轻的地球创造论者认为地球只有几千岁的观点描述为“一个荒谬的、意识萎缩的谬误”。他在1986年出版的《盲眼钟表匠持续批判了设计论，这是一个重要的神创论论点。在书中，Dawkins 反驳了18世纪英国神学家 William Paley 通过他的著作《钟表匠类比自然神学而闻名于世的手表。道金斯同意科学家们普遍持有的观点，即自然选择足以解释生物世界表面的功能性和非随机的复杂性，可以说在自然界中扮演着钟表匠的角色，尽管是自动的，不受任何设计师、非智能的盲人钟表匠的指导。

1986年，Dawkins 和生物学家约翰·梅纳德·史密斯参加了牛津大学联盟对抗年轻的地球创造论者 a. e.

道金斯反对将智能设计论纳入科学教育，称其“根本不是一个科学论点，而是一个宗教论点”。他被媒体称为“达尔文的罗特韦尔犬”，这里指的是英国生物学家 t · h · 赫胥黎，他因拥护查尔斯 · 达尔文的进化论而被称为“达尔文的斗牛犬”。他一直强烈批评英国组织“科学真理”(Truth in Science) ，该组织在公立学校推广神创论教学，道金斯的著作被称为“教育丑闻”。他计划通过理查德 · 道金斯理性与科学基金会资助学校，提供书籍、 dvd 和小册子，抵消他们的工作。
