Srsly? Does anyone think Dawkins makes convincing or even well-founded arguments? His books are complete trash. The atheist community should be ashamed if Dawkins is the best it can muster.
In response to your second point, religion has moved far beyond that. While man may have once worshiped the sun because it brought light, his comprehension (and I'm using this in a very general sense) of the divine has improved and the role the divine plays in his life has become substantially more all-encompassing and complex.
I like how you clumped atheists together and complained when we clumped Christians together. Your second point is your opinion, religion continues to fester and be in objection to progress and try to creep into every part of life if possible.
My personal objection to Dawkin's is that he tries to be a general in atheist army. He forgets the basis that atheists aren't a group like Christians. We aren't a united group because we have no similar aspects other then a passive disbelief in god. I mean you don't see groups of people uniting because we don't believe in unicorns. Other then that Dawkin's is fine. I've read his book and its not bad for an English man. I mean what were you expecting? Huckleberry Fin?
