23. Ah. THERE'S the problem.

"I could never understand why someone who is devoid of a particular belief needs to spends hours (or a career) ridiculing those who hold religious beliefs. The beliefs themselves are not a threat to anyone."

This is where you and I part ways, and I suspect is the reason I like Dawkins and you don't. For me, religious belief is antithetical to a rational, logical approach to solving the world's problems. Religion and it's devotees are an obstacle to social and scientific progress, not merely irrelevancies to be ignored.
