Richard Dawkins is helping to subsidize a summer camp that will teach children the fundamentals of atheism:

Camp-goers aged eight to 17 will also be taught how to disprove phenomena such as crop circles and telepathy. In the Invisible Unicorn Challenge, any child who can prove that unicorns do not exist will win a £10 note—which features an image of Charles Darwin, the father of evolutionary theory—signed by Dawkins, Britain’s most prominent atheist.
