is Dawkins a religious nut?

Dawkins doesn't like religious nuts. Who does. So why is he one himself?
Is it because he spent too long in Church when he was little? Here's why Dawkins was, is, and always will be, a religious nut:
Dawkins believes that life, in its essence, is flawed or selfiish.
Just like the Church.
The Church believes that life, in its essence, is flawed or originally sinful. Strike one.
Dawkins believes that genes survive.
Just like the Church.
The Church believes that people survive. Dawkins calls it copying, the Church calls it reincarnation. But nothing survives death. Strike two.
Dawkins believes in survival of the fittest or favoured forms.
Just like the Church.
The Church believes in the lineage of the prophets or favoured forms. Strike three.
Dawkins believes that evolved structures are designoids or forms.
Just like the Church.
The Church believes that God's designs are forms. Strike four.
Dawkins believes that without Dawkinian altruistic intervention we are blind machines.
Just like the Church.
The Church believes that without Jesus' altruistic intervention we are blind machines. Strike five.
Richard Dawkins can be seen on display, pickled in a Church specimen bottle, where he slowly ferments, bubbles, blackens, and decays. Strike six...

Only if all you did was read the cover of "the selfish gene" and then came to a faulty conclusion. Dawkins has been a big advocate AGAINST people being selfish assholes. He only says the genetics are inherently selfish, not the people themselves. He even EXPRESSLY condemns the idea of social darwinism...that is, if you only took the time to listen to him. Besides, how would that make him a religious nut? Me suggesting that most people are assholes has nothing to do with me being a religious nut.

Im not even going to bother with this one

No he doesnt. He never did. In fact he has several times spoke out about how he is against social darwinism, and that we should take care of each other regardless of nation or religion.

LOL...wut?!?!

I picked up a hit on google with this one:

Scroll down to the 5th hit.
Looks like you might be a cut and paste bandit.

If anything, wouldn't he be an ANTI-religious nut?
