He might be arrogant but if you want to make a dent in religions political armour you have to have that element to you. Fight fire with fire as the old saying goes.
it's doesn't have to be either or. there are 'fundementalist' environmnetalists too, and evolutionists - Dawkin's lies about geopolitical conflicts are potentially far more damaging than some 'floppy haired' evangelist labeling fossils 3000 years old.
