Willie, if all Dawkins did was evolutionary biology, nobody would take issue with him because nobody in the anti-evolution group would have heard about him. When he went from being a top-rate biologist to being a ten-cent philosopher, then people started to notice him. He now goes out of the way to step on religious toes, so he can't exactly whine about unfair treatment when people who don't like their toes stepped on say so.

He has taken the "god" of a small number of shrill fundamentalists and determined that that is the Christian god, and then any Christian who believes differently, he attacks as not being really Christian. He has about as much understanding of theology as I have of the human genome, and is proud of his ignorance of the thing he spends so many words talking about! He's a character study in bad philosophy of religion, and in how to be a bully. But he gets away with it because he was a great biologist, as if that means everything he says on any other subject should be assumed to be at the same level. (And of course he is supported by fawning atheists who agree with his conclusions and lack the ability to logically evaluate his arguments.)

He's the Joe McCarthy of atheism and it's time somebody on that side of the tracks stood up and said, "Have you no shame?"
