Atheism didn't influence Richard Dawkins' books

Atheism didn't influence Richard Dawkins' books
Hi I am a Muslim and I don't hate atheists.

I just want to check this to be certain.

Richard Dawkins was in no way influenced by atheism when he wrote the God delusion - this is because he was really reacting to theism (and not atheism)!

Is this really what most atheists here believe? That atheists are never motivated by atheism?

I'm not going to respond - I'm just checking that there is a consensus on this issue...
