When I see someone like Richard Dawkins, I see my father. I grew up with that. I'm basically the child of Richard Dawkins.

Few would argue that Richard Dawkins is the world's most famous atheist, especially now that his friend and rival for the title, Christopher Hitchens, has now gone to meet his Maker.

One of Dawkins' major gripes is against religion. I am in total agreement on that one. I abhor religion.

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is 'The Book of British Birds,' and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology.

Is there Gawker ethics? I mean, I guess there's Gawker ethics. It's a dangerous thing to talk about.

I can't go on Gawker. I actually think the writing is really funny, but there is a chance that somebody is undercutting me.

You cannot be a part-time candidate when you're running against Orrin Hatch.

I attacked Dawkins's book on God because I think he is theologically illiterate.

Much as I like and admire Richard Dawkins, I do think that to call a book 'The God Delusion' is very worrying because the title implies that if you don't believe in what I believe then you are 'deluded.' That, I think, is a dangerous concept and one that is unlikely to win hearts and minds.

I call myself an agnostic. I'm open to change. I'm the same sort of person, although much less aggressive, as Richard Dawkins.
