So when you watch this talk of Dawkins with Robert Krulwich what do you feel?
You know Carl Sagan was also considered irritating by lots of people, there was even a spoof on him in the movie "Real Genius" (1985).
The truth is that there needs to be somebody to push themselves into these brainwashed people and argue with them, there's just no other way. Religion is a serious brain disorder and you really have to face these persons because they have influence on people around them and not to mention the stigma religious people feel there is on science, especially evolution. Dawkins is little bit like a school teacher figure reminding people to learn more so people do get nervous.
Just look at Dawkins, isn't he just gallant. You have to know how to talk to them, like approaching an ill person, because they are trained to feel disgust toward any rationality.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
