I'm not one of those atheists that reads a ton of literature by atheists. I'm far more interested in other things. Therefore, I am *gasp* not all that familiar with Dawkins. Judging by your original post, Dawkins does not have blind faith in free-will. He very well could have blind faith in free will, but you have not shown any proof of it here that I can see.

As for determinism and free will, I don't see any reason why they should be mutually exclusive. Why should it be one or the other?
