    Religion has a philosophical frame of reference, it stems from a belief that there is a higher power / creator and represents man's attempt to experience and connect with that power. Nobody who has such a belief for whatever reason has to justify it to anyone else, it is not a scientific issue.
    Is that what it is? So why do the catholic church, the bible, quran... exist?

    Even people on this thread calling a world class physicist a "little dim" is absolutely absurd.
    Being world class in one field does not mean you cannot be a little dim in another, especially at 83.

    Higgs, and any other scientists who might be a bit "embarrassed" by Dawkins obviously doesn't really care too much about what people believe. Religion is just not a subject that bothers them as much as it does Dawkins, who is very vocal about why the subject is so important to him.
    It's the typical condescending 'let them have their silly beliefs if they don't know any better.' Ironically, some religious people align with this opinion to attack Dawkins et al.

    Having a Nobel prize or two is no guarantee of wisdom in other fields:
