It may be a good idea not to project flaws you perceive in yourself onto others.

I am entitled to have my own opinions

I agree.

eve if thy seem odd to others,

All that matters is you are able to provide a rational argument supporting any opinion you hold.

even if they are not in full concordance with the great R.Dawkins.

Have you considered the possibility some atheists may have arrived at their viewpoint through life experience, observation, investigation, rational thinking, etc rather than being told what they should think by the contents of an expensive book?

I have not read any of the 'new atheist' books and do not give a tinkers toss if my views on religion differ from what is written in these.
