He's not that intellectual. He claimed Hitler was a Catholic. Somewhat true enough at a certain time in Hitler's life, however he loathed and hated both the RCC and Protestants and if anything wanted to start his own religion which would have been based on the premise that it has no Jewish roots since Hitler hated Jews.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

And as we all know, being (debatably) wrong about a single point immediately relegates you to being a dumb-dumb. Yes.

He makes quite a song-and dance out of that "single point", and I gave up on the rest of the video during it.

I think a more fundamental point he made was that Christians will deduce that a non-believer is wicked because they have inherited sin which is then running rife in their lives. This has been especially true with the Christians I know in real life. Once I came out of the closet, I've had a lot of subtle comments thrown at me that suggest I party hard and have sex 24/7. If anything, being unshackled from religious baggage has heightened my sense of morality and I find that being moral in my own strength is infinitely more noble than bowing down to an institution led by superstition.

Richard Dawkins is the prophet of Atheism
Does this make him the most stupid among them as well?

I guess you're right. Evolutionary theory has "prophesied" certain things about reality, and later experimentation and observations "fulfilled" said "prophecy".

Not the response you were after?
