Clearly you haven't read a word Dawkins has ever written... How can you think he's a fanatic? He's just opposing bullshit dogma and providing something closer to proof and reasoning than any religionist could ever fumble over.
And back to the fanatism thing, does he ask for money?
Does he go around knocking on peoples doors asking to read from a science book?
Does he say they will die a painful death if they don't believe him and a wonderful death if they do?
Does he start wars on people who oppose him?
Does he insist people come to a big building numerous times a week, sing songs, donate money and get bored, just so they have a nice death, or else?
Does he crash planes into buildings?
Does he stand on a plinth in cities reading from an old book rewritten 40,000 times and wasn't even first written until 400 years after the events had supposedly occurred and them proclaim it as true?
I could carry on all day... Religion is fucking evil and closed minded. Dawkins promotes open thinking, which is a good thing in the modern world. By being an atheist I don't chose science over religion, I chose no religion.
I don't need to try and prove something else to be true to vindicate my non-beliefs, simply because i have no beliefs. That's how religionists think, it's the way they've been taught. "If you can't prove it's not true, then it must be!" Come on, that's bullshit, read about the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Look, I simply don't believe. I don't have to prove something else to justify my reasons, because I don't believe in anything, so therefore have nothing to prove.
