I think he is a waste of the IQ level in mere cunning and eloquence. Has high IQ but has no wisdom and hence is stupid in that sense.
By having something called "virtue" and "manners".
Fairy tales that are believed as religions are at least answers by people to essential questions.
If you go to an exam and write nothing, it's a lot worse then having answers that are partially right and partially wrong.
No religion is totally false in all it's entirety as far as I know. Atheism may not be false as simply non-belief, but it's a whole worse then partially wrong and right answers, hence it's even worse then total wrong answer.
At least people believing in fairy tales attempted to answer essential questions.

Oh, Dawkins!
Many of his writings are very good and there's no denying that he kicks the arses of creationists he encounters.
As to the man himself, I'm not really all that much of a fan.
How does a highly intelligent person not talk down to people who believe in silly fairy tales?
