The books, the many books, are not the evidence, but the guide.
Similarly the GD should have been written as a guide to a non-theistic viewpoint rather than as an attack on these other guides to theistic viewpoints.
Well anyway, I'm not getting involved in the Is there Isn't there debate, waste of time.
I understand Dawkins' mission, and I support him in it, but he is over reaching himself. It's a sad case of delusional grandeur.
BTW, he does need to read the Bible and other Holy Books to first define God, before dismissing the existence thereof.
