Funny to me that Dawkins thinks he's charming, and the lack of the trait is due to negative media. Heh.
As someone who is Atheist/doubtfully-Agnostic (understanding that something like this can never, ever be proven one way or another, damn religious "logic"), I've really hated Dawkins and the late-Hitchens monologues about religious belief.
While I wholly agree with them, I could never reconcile that someone who had the world-stage could be so obtuse and offensive about spreading their beliefs. I could never claim they spoke for my beliefs, because they treated those who held that which they found false with such disrespect and disregard to the point of actually lowering themselves below those which they attacked.
You will never change the minds of those you disagree with by calling them ignorant or stupid, and for years that is exactly what they have done, in all all their own personal ignorance and blindness in the face of their celebrity. It was disgusting.
In this interview it seems like Dawkins has now found a "rival" who has tempered his idiocy to some extent (though the quote I started this post with would be argument to the contrary), but hopefully they will learn.
I abhor fundamental religious belief, but Dawkins and Hitchens were two atheists who, by their attitudes and egos alone, proved a need for a supposed moral belief system for all of mankind.

Wish those guys had gone to school or somethin'!

Rise of Atheists? To what?

I disagree with the end point though. I think there is always going to be some form of religion. It's just that religion will be forced to become more rational and compatible with science.

Freedom of religion is a good thing. Religion is not inherently bad. It's just how it's used.

Fundamentally the only real problem with religion is its encroachment into gov't. solve that problem and religion and science can and will coexist. There are plenty of people out there who believe in a creator but can still engage in logic and reason.

I'm not religious but why are most atheists intolerant assholes?

" could be so obtuse and offensive about spreading their beliefs."

Yeah, see, it's not a "belief".

The opinion that people who believe in religion are stupid and should be ridiculed (something Dawkins has promoted in the past) is most certainly a belief.

Prominence.

Atheists and Christians, Jews and Norwegians alike, may rise to caress the sea-otter's engorged nut-sack.
