Do you agree with Richard Dawkins?

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

I can't help but feel that Dawkins has set the atheist argument back in terms of reasoning and logic

Argument? What argument?

"As an atheist" I don't have an argument, I have a position. IE I assert only: " I do not believe in god(s) due to the lack of of credible evidence." I make no claims so need argue exactly nothing.

I have always considered Dawkins an excellent debater and clever polemicist,but a weak philosopher. Pretty sure he has never claimed to be philosopher. Dawkins does not speak for me,nor do I recognise the so-called 'atheist movement' . In my opinion there can be no such thing by definition: Atheism is not an ideology, philosophy,world view, moral code, or religion. Atheism is ONLY the absence of a belief in God(s). NOTHING ELSE IS IMPLIED OR MAY BE INFERRED.PERIOD.
