I've read the majority of his books and have seen many of his talks, and I think I could pretty much emulate his arguments concerning atheism and give a layman's summary of his stance on evolution. Yet I certainly don't consider myself a desciple.
I naturally voted the last option...

I know of him but not about him. Nothing that I have heard makes me want to learn more.

I honestly don't know much about the guy, so when I was informed that I am indeed a Dawkins worshiper I was surprised to say the least. I never knew being an atheist meant worshipping Dawkins. I guess I'll have to disavow my atheism. He is a magnificent bastard! I HAVE READ HIS BOOK! But I am not a disciple, I agree with a lot of what he says and I like how he can present his scientific topics to laypeople like me. I don't, however accept his views unquestioningly and have been quite critical of some of his ideas and positions (he seems to be quite confused about a lot in feminism for example).

I'd been an atheist for decades without knowing of his existence. I've never read any of his books. If atheism needed a spokesmen - it doesn't - I would not want it to be him.
He does occasionally say something funny, I'll give the man that. I also hear he's an accomplished biologist, but I'm not qualified to assess that claim.
P.S. Fuck all polls. In the ass. With an unlubricated cactus.
I chose the 'like' option because I do know some things of him, such as:
Him being a scientist Him using his clout to highlight the illogic of religion Having some pithy things to say on a variety of topics Which are all things I enjoy/can respect. Beyond that, I'm not really familiar with him. I'm certainly no disciple of him.
