It wasn't his style I had a problem with, it was the content. It has "converted" a load of people to atheism for all the wrong reasons imo. Like I said before, I still respect him as a biologist, but biologists should keep out of philosophy.

The last I checked, he was against private faith schools...so no, I don't think things like that outshine the others. On the skepticism front, I think he's more of a liability than anything else. On the public education / science front, I think he's brilliant.
