Dawkins is a brilliant scientist, but a bit over zealous with the atheism (this is coming from an atheist). I believe he's just trying to be extreme to get people talking, but, considering a recent poll showed that atheists are the most mistrusted group there is, I think calm, level headedness, and understanding would be a better tactic. After all, it's not religion itself that's bad. It's zealotry.
