Dawkins has, in my view, descended from a past foundation of calm, measured scientific writing into the most horribly illogical, theologically ill-informed screeds on religion, which do more to discredit religious criticism than to advance it.
I'm not going to pretend that I'm particularly unbiased on the issue myself, since I loved his earlier writings and had been looking forward to his wider criticisms. I feel almost personally betrayed!
