Exactly. He really is like a substitute charismatic religious leader for atheists. He proclaims judgement about things on which he has no expertise, experience or knowledge and his adherents follow him blindly without question.

A fundamental part of being trained up as a scientist is to only make speculations that can be backed up by hard evidence. It's always sad to see an ex scientist drop all this as they fall in love with people hanging on their every word about all kinds of things that they know nothing about.

He's not an ex scientist, he's still a scientist. Go read his books before you criticize him like that . You're embarrassing yourself.
