It's quite easy. He's just your wayward missionary from the atheist side. Always talking from the Ivory tower, always claiming to be in posession of the one and only truth. With some dubious political views on the side.

That is an offputting character. Regardless of the message.

I'm not as appalled by missionaries as you are in general, but Dawkins could certainly also be accused of talking from the ivory tower. I think his saving grace as an atheist missionary is his great enthusiasm as a naturalist, which I find pretty contagious, and which seems to come first for him.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
