Dawkins is an upstart to the extent that he's a rationalist, a materialist, an unashamed atheist. His mission is consciousness-raising among other closeted atheists.

But yes, you're right: Dawkins is educated and educates; he doesn't seem flustered, but probably flusters, again, because of said nature of serious theists.

Anyway, it's a fascinatingly concise read. Definitely seek it out if you can. I'd be interested in what peeps on here would make of it.
