Well my position comes from some of the positions Dawkins has publicly stated, when he really didn't need to speak up in those circles. Maybe you find 'idiot' a strong word? The problem with someone like Dawkins is he is 'clever' - someone who doesn't understand that in his position it's better to not wield it like a weapon. This is why I prefer someone like Sean Carroll, who absolutely entertains some bonkers ideas, but never from a position of superiority or dismissal - but rather challenges it rationally.
