I agree with Dawkins that the probability of a supreme being's existence is very low, but I understand that there's a possibility that I'm wrong.

Exactly right. The possibility is not zero. No matter how small, it's not zero. So, we should respect that possibility. Dawkins, though I respect him, is too intolerant for my tastes.
I do not believe in God, but I also do not believe in intolerance. The reason the religious right are causing problems is not because they are religious. It's because they are jackasses that don't respect other's rights to believe differently. When atheiests become intolerant, then they are just as bad as intolerant Christians (or any other religion).
