Dawkins has a great opportunity to change the public perception of atheism now that he's in the limelight. I just fear he is going to blow it all with his evangelical approach. The recent poll showing atheists to be the most mistrusted group shows that deep down people do not even understand our viewpoints. They view all atheists as being loud mouth trouble makers. If Dawkins can come across as reasonable and charming instead of angry he could make a great change.
