Specifically, which questions did he respond to in this manner? Of the questions posed in this thread, the theistic qustioners were far more sarcastic than he was...

I'd ask Dawkins this question: "Science is built on induction, which entails searching out things in the world and drawing generalized conclusions about those things based on observation. Whenever science is unable to prove that something exists, it merely states that the object might exist but that there is no scientific evidence supporting that claim. Scientists can only draw conclusions on what they find, not on what they can't find so how, exactly, can a scientist claim that God doesn't exist? I've yet to see a scientist openly claim that aliens don't exist because they've never seen one."

In the case of mock religions, such as the invisible pink unicorn, do those help the atheist cause or do they actually hurt it by creating a sort of hilarity about religion?
