Haven't read it and don't really care about Dawkins' opinions outside of evolutionary biology. From what I've seen of him, he doesn't really seem to have much of a grasp of philosophy and often conflates it with science. On top of that, he's got the whole pretentioius academic thing going on.
I mean, I like that he's out there calling bullshit bullshit, but he appears to over-reach into areas he's not entirely qualified.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
