Hes turned atheism from the absence of belief into a quasi-religious belief in itself.
Pure hypocrisy to be honest.

I am both an atheist and an anti-theist. I actively push for religion to be ended. It is not a "quasi-religious belief" and Dawkins has done nothing other than show people they dont have to roll over and take religious dogma being pushed down our throats day in, day out, particularly in the US.
To push for the abolishing of all religion is just another way of pushing your own belief system (or absence thereof) onto other people rather than adopting a more reasonable and logical approach.
I also find it rather amusing that you were bitching about people being homophobic and prejudiced in another thread (something I agree with you on) and then actively celebrate the fact that you are intolerant of religion. No-one likes militant religious zealots and fanatics but the key here is acceptance and common sense running in parallel with whatever religion, faith, or lack thereof you are a part of. There are plenty of religious crazies out there, but there are also plenty of atheist and anti-theist crazies as well.
Everything to do with Dawkins is mired in hypocrisy. There are far too many parallels between his own opinions and advocacies and organised religion for any logical and sensible person to support the man.
