Not such a bad guy ...

... once you get to know him: Richard Dawkins interview.

The idea that Dawkins is capable of doing very much more than deeply offending people is probably inconceivable to those who accuse him not only of a virulent disrespect for religion but of being an apologist for Hitler and Stalin who, it is rather irrelevantly pointed out, were atheists too (except that Hitler was raised a Roman Catholic and Stalin studied at a Georgian Orthodox seminary).

Yes, Stephanie. And Richard Dawkins was raised an Anglican. I do feel for him over the loss of his dog though. I think he's actually a hopeless romantic, like Shelley.
