As respectfully as I can put it, My problem with Dawkins is that he shoves atheism down people's throats. He is so self absorbed in his own conclusions about the world that he assumes that anyone who opposes his anti-god agenda is stupid and needs to be "re-educated". I don't care what he has to back up his arguments, all intolerant arguments are the same to me. Whether coming from the religious or non-religious community its the same garbage in a different pail. If I am in a democratic society and I feel in my heart that there is a "giant spaghetti monster" who is he as some doctor in England to tell me what to think and believe.
Doesn't democracy mean anything anymore? Doesn't freedom of religion mean anything anymore? If I'm not forcing my belief in God on other people, why can't people just respect that and leave it alone? Whether you believe in God or not, you should be allowed to believe what you please without a bunch of people throwing dirt in your face.
I pretty much love you the irony in accusing Richard Dawkins of being anti-Democratic while blasting him for speaking his mind. You're aggressive demand for unconditional respect and sympathy of religion is intolerant, as Dawkin's has never said consenting adults who practice religotry in private ought to be foreceful "re-educated" your post is also libel.
You're brand of pseudo-tolerance is tyranny.
